yea

well tehnically minigun have a gear like this but i think its use bullet heat to spin anyway im pretty sure minigun usa a gear like this to roate

Especially after watching 3d printed guns, 3d printed gearboxes, and "perpetual motion" or "science experiment" videos. This is like the center of that Ven diagram

@@enclave3555 it uses the gas from the gunpowder combustion to propel the rotational movement

When you have a similar icon or Avatar

When it literally goes brrrrrrrrrrrrr

For a real gun it´s probably better to spin with cylinder.

Thank you. Your comment is much appreciated! Ron

It's not a functional gun it's just metal pipes on a magnet

@@kgkbuugj but it sure can give steampunk gatling ideas

It's a form of curse. :-)

Stirling engines have been used for may things, although probably not a rotary version like this. Google Stirling Engine and click on the Wikipedia link, which has some good examples including one similar to what you described.

Let it drive a generator and you have a less boring alternative to solar power

@@tobiasschieder1698 potentially more efficient too

barumman the gun is the best part

Generators need high torque; perhaps a flywheel addition could make it happen.

You are basically proposing free energy or a perpetual motion device, which is unknown in science. Notwithstanding the above, the connecting rods and master rod are of such light material, any additional (or external) load would cause them early failure. This is not an economical example of a heat engine. Far more energy is consumed by the fire than could be produced by the engine. i.e. If this were in an airplane it would never get off the ground. :-) Thanks for watching. Please subscribe.

As sold as rubbing alcohol in the pharmacy (or WalMart) it burns dirty as kerosene. Use it for one of these engines and you will soon change your mind.

@@RonaldWalters2010 If you buy fuel alcohol it will work tons better, store bought rubbing alcohol is diluted.

You are going to need to explain your question. I do not use a touch screen.

@@RonaldWalters2010 for tipping and tapping on the parts. A metal pen might put you in a bad place if you slip. A pen with a softer tip like the silicone ones used for touch screens won't leave a scratch. I'm just curious.

I used to point at things with a No.2 pencil. Then several years ago switch to mechanical pencils when I got too lazy to sharpen the No.2’s. The one dental tool is a favorite when I am working on stuff. I never have one of these in my pocket and seldom take more than two steps with one in my hand. They are always on the bench within easy reach. I am much more likely to be injured by a No.11 X-Acto blade. Thanks for watching.

@@RonaldWalters2010 Makes sense! Thanks for the explanation!

Where did you get it? Did you use one of my links to purchase the engine? How was it packaged? Was the package received damaged? How do you know... or what makes you think it is rocking between only two cylinders? Have you watched my other videos on this engine?

I'm sure you could appropriately gear it down for enough torque.

This comment sounds strangely passively aggressively dismissive to me. Like this commenter believes that sterling engines aren’t real, and there must be an electric motor in there somewhere.

What's your problem bud

Yeah Mr picky why dont you give your balls a tug. This is rather clever. Good video

What?

No. Much too small.

Ahhh... But not if it were powered by the exhaust of your jet engine... which, along with the airplane, did not exist when the Stirling engine was invented in 1816 nor the Gatling gun invented in 1884. :-) Thanks for watching! Ron

@@RonaldWalters2010 then how did Abraham Lincoln die in a fiery jet crash? You probably don’t believe that either. Good video.

Yes, missed that one... Damned Martians! Funny!

@@RonaldWalters2010 We could be creating conspiracy theories & not even realize

@@RonaldWalters2010 .. Answers like that always cause me to investigate wiki. Turns out there were semi-successful rocket flights as early as 350 AD & in 1633. Not exactly a fighter jet as we know it, but learning historical facts always causes me to have more questions, lol

The best fuel is denatured alcohol because it burns clean. Isopropyl alcohol can burn very dirty and leaves black carbon on your engine.

@@RonaldWalters2010 thank you

I have no idea. I can say it burns more fuel than it will return in energy (at least this particular engine). Thanks for watching and for your comments. Please subscribe! That is what keeps this channel going. Ron

No. Rubbing alcohol is Isopropyl Alcohol Denatured alcohol is ethanol (the good stuff) with some additives to make it non-consumable. Denatured alcohol is much cleaner burning. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe. That is what keeps this channel running. Ron

This is a proof of concept model engine. Most of these slow down and then stop after they get too hot and the heat differential is lost. Fresnel lens and the sun would probably work up to the time when it gets too hot to run. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe. That's what keeps this channel going! Ron

@@RonaldWalters2010 Engagement is actually how KZfaq's algorithm pushes videos to the top actually, so let me ask you another question if it's not too much trouble. Is there a way to moderate the heat then? Basically I live in Arizona and my energy bill is crazy high. It's hot all the time and one method I've been considering is using a steam engine and fresnel lens to generate power to lower my energy bill. But this seems like it might have more potential, possibly?

I am a Mechanical Engineer and I built my own house and workshops… the house a little over 20 years ago. The metal roof of my house is absolutely perfect for solar cells or solar hot water panels. I looked at several different ways to generate electric with solar panels and the cost just was not justified. The cost of installation is one thing. Pumping the electric back into the grid is another. The electric company here does everything it can to put stumbling blocks in your way. Batteries have a limited life and replacement is expensive. Storms, hail storms, etc. can damage or destroy hot water panels and solar cells. Both need to be washed frequently to keep them clean and generating to max capacity. A layer of dust or smoke drastically reduces their efficiency. I have a video on a radiant heat snowmelt system installed in my sidewalk and driveway. That would not be of interest to you… except possibly in reverse. During the summer the concrete gets incredibly hot. The hot fluid inside the tubing in the concrete could be used to generate electric. Most of these systems work well while the sun is shining, but we (also) need the power when it is not shining. This is another type system that is interesting… and there are other thermoelectric type systems out there… do a Google search. A thermocouple is basically a junction of dissimilar metals which, when heated, generate electric. This is how the thermocouple on the pilot light of a gas hot water heater or furnace works. miriam-english.org/projects/steg/index.html And to be most efficient, the panels should track the sun. Sounds like a government project. Stirling engines are interesting and can be made to run for longer. Way back there was one that was made for farmers, who did not have electric, to run things like water well pumps, milking machines, etc. As a personal way to generate electric to save money, it just isn’t worth it GE made a small unit to generate enough electric to power a tube-type radio and it ran off gasoline or kerosene. When the pocket transistor radio powered by a 9VDC battery came out, that pretty much ended the market for the device before it had a chance to become popular. A google search for Stirling engines (Wikipedia). Stirling engines have been made to power submarines and satellites traveling out through the solar system. Once again, government projects. :-) European countries have had success with people installing solar panels because the governments have largely subsidized their installations. Use of a fresnel lens would most likely also require tracking. Watch this video and set up an experiment for yourself using a pair of binoculars to project the sun onto a piece of paper. This will show you how fast the sun moves. Solar Eclipse Binoculars Projector - Safe Viewing kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rpyci9KbzM7XY5c.html Don’t get me wrong… I am not trying to rain on your parade. It boils down to cost vs reward… and how much time do you want to spend fiddling with it. The fewer moving parts the better. Solar panels (electric and/or hot water) are probably your best bet. Vertical-axis helical wind turbines are the best way to generate electric as they automatically track any change in wind direction (again, google search and Wikipedia). Cheers! Ron

@@RonaldWalters2010 Look, I am not talking about solar panels, those are too finnicky and expensive to be of any use to the average person. Look at this though- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7B3o8Wn27ClYn0.html This is what I have in mind. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jc5xh82Grc3eqIU.html

Also, ideally this generates more power than the average person would need during the day, and the extra energy is stored the same way that electric companies store energy- batteries or pumping water into a well or compressing air. I understand it wouldn't be very compact to store a well on a backyard, or safe to have compressed air cannisters around, but maybe there is a way to turn the extra power into something else. Batteries maybe? Maybe the air cannisters have potential?

Craig, In this original video I wasn’t about to take this thing apart because it is quite an involved assembly. However, later on it quit working and I had no choice but to work on it. The following shows disassembly and reassembly of the hot end (displacer section). Gatling Stirling Engine - Hot End Repair kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZqSmbqcxLm3lok.html This video shows taking the rotary engine section apart and repairing it after I accidentally broke one of the glass liners. Gatling Stirling Engine - Broken Liner Replacement kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNuArcaoqbOdZac.html So that should answer any questions you have regarding this engine. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe. That is what keeps this channel running! Ron

That is a hard one to answer. Mine ran initially just as you see in the video. Make sure the glass pieces inside the engine are not broken or cracked. Be very very gentle with the glass. Cylinder heads need to be snug but not overly tight, which could break a piece of glass. Silicone tubes properly fitted. The engine should spin very freely by hand without a fire and you should hear all of the displacers clicking just like in my video. If it does not spin freely the support shaft, which holds the radial engine part and the Gatling barrels part onto the center support ring, could be just a bit too tight. After a while my engine quite running altogether and I had to take the hot end apart and clean out a bunch of crap, which should have been cleaned at the factory prior to assembly. If all else fails you may need to look inside. Be careful with the silicone o-rings and try not to damage them. You can find replacements on eBay but then you will need to wait on them to arrive from China (around 3 weeks). Gatling Stirling Engine - Hot End Repair kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZqSmbqcxLm3lok.html Hope that helps. Ron

@@RonaldWalters2010 can you send me a link to a replacement glass cylinder the piston tube rides in? What had happened was the tube had came loose from the head and slid down and struck the connecting rod resulting in taking a chunk out of the tube.

I have experienced the same problem. I am working trying to get the manufacturer to sell replacement glass parts for this engine. So far not much luck. I intend to make this happen but it may take some time. Right now it is Chinese New Year and nothing will happen in China for at least two weeks. Be patient. If you don't hear from me, send me another message to remind me. Ron

One other thing... that glass tube breaking has probably put tiny bits of glass into the crankcase area. So do spin the engine or anything which could break the piston glass tube which currently has no liner to run in or get bits of glass into the silicone tubes leading to the displacer tubes and/or into the bearings. Also, bits of glass (or glass dust) could get up into the other cylinders and break more liners. At some point you will need to take the whole thing apart and flush out the crankcase, cylinders and bearings to make sure all glass particles are gone. I will let you know how I do with obtaining replacement glass tubes.

I have been working with the engine supplier and Banggood and have finally gotten them to produce a repair pack for this engine. It comes with both pieces of glass and two o-rings. Banggood assured me today that this repair pack will be listed fairly soon. As soon as I find out the part number and description I will let you know. Sorry this has taken so long but finally I have results. This is a repair video I made and it shows how bad the breakage can be, the Repair Pack I hope they list on Banggood (with no changes) and replacing a liner on my engine. I will not make this video Public until the Repair Pack is actually listed on Banggood. I had to take the whole engine apart in order to clean out all the broken pieces of glass and glass dust. If the engine is running when the glass breakage occurs, glass particles and glass dust can also end up inside the displacers.

wtf this isn't even a gun... its an engine with some pipes attached to make it look like a gatling... that's the dumbest question i´ve read in a long time :D

Lol. Just. What.

No fam. It would need a lot more to fire a projectile.

Theres always 1

A lot of the hot end parts for Stirling or Hot Air engines are made out of Pyrex tubes (like test tubes) as they are heat and fire resistant. This engine does not come apart easily and I was not going to pull it apart as long as it was running. But then it quit and I had to take it apart to find the problem. That was when I could verify the displacers were aluminum and not glass as shown in the following video. Gatling Stirling Engine - Hot End Repair kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZqSmbqcxLm3lok.html The pistons and liners are made out of glass tubing which are lapped together to provide a tight seal between the two. They also get quite hot and the heat resistant glass is used along with silicone o-rings. Thanks for watching.

That'a a terrible thing to say. I can't stand Dr. Phil. :-)

Ah ha ha , ok comment was funny but Ronalds response comment was even funnier .....

Gatling Gun... early form of machine gun. Supposed to look and sound something like that.

and this...is my weapon. She weights 150kg and fires 200 custom tooled cardridges at 10 000 rounds per minutes. it cost 400 000 dollars to fire this gun..for 12 seconds
