STIRLING ENGINE SOLAR POWER FRESNEL LENS
on Mar 31 in Lowes DIY
www.greenpowerscience.com This is a new design I found, they work with a Fresnel Lens or a Parabolic Mirror. Strong and efficient for its size. About 15-40 watts. We have been trying different videos and had a run of experiments not going right. Also Florida is very cloudy from June – July, this video took 4 hours to shoot waiting for the clouds.

@RationalPrejudice Not THAT interesting. And a waste of time.
@RationalPrejudice Check todays episode, it’s the closest you will get.
What I would like to see is a fresnel lens “flashlight” of sorts that focuses a beam hot enough to start up a stirling engine, which in turn is hooked up to a small generator motor that re-charges the batteries in the flashlight, keeping it going, while pulling a second load to power something else as well. It would be very interesting to see how long it would run, given that there is no such thing as “perpetual free energy”.
lets see some work produced ehh!
you could use this to charge the batteries that power your house, during the day.
What is that thing?
thats a nice looking one
dang! I was workin’ on this idea grumble grumble
oh well on to the next idea: compressed CO2 in a clear bottle under the Sun’s heat….shhhhhh!
really great design guys! 5*s! maybe hook it to an air compressor and run moters from the compressed air and create a storage capability…just a thought…thanks again!
lol 2 late for me to say but happy newyear! (soon)((by the time u see this is probaqblu will be
LOL, Have a happy Christmas Bobo!
not me
@ bobo45465I was making a point about excess heat and how it contributes to wear. No I’ve not seen the “other vid” and FYI I wasn’t judging. Who feels like a dumb ass now?
you didnt watch the other vid did you? your so dumb WATCH THE OTHER VIDS AND THEN JUDGE
geat beta type
OVERKILL!!! This type of engine is supposed to run from a small oil burner, surely using the fresnel is generating a massive amount of heat which is likely to boil off any lubricant and soften/ expand metals causing greater wear. Will a 6″ fresnel lens work?
how did you make that
I’d say the concentrated solar beam cooking the paint on the cylinder head.
What the smoke coming from it
thats perfect for it….but maybe to power a rotisserie box with electricity, unless you think the ratios can be made with a 21 speed bike allowing for different cooking times…
Good Dan. I have been looking at a sterling engine which is water cooled to pump water from a well etc. Engine would be in sun with lens with cold end in water. What is the minmum temperature diference these run at to pull say 120 joules per min? (120cmwater 1metre per min)
Does this particular model use ball bearings? I’ve noticed that a number of PM Research’s engines use a Babbit-style bearing. Also, what sort of lubricant is used? Graphite? I’ve been wanted to pick up one of these, but for $300 I kinda want to know what I’m getting myself into.
I like it
these are toys, there is no need to research whether you can make power from heat from the sun, do some looking.
Although I agree…. but these inventions are quite dated… they need a reinvention or a rethink to keep up with our power demands. These Videos are more to inspire and inform then to show what can be done.
I have definitely become more interested in solar power after seeing your videos. Thanks! Maybe more videos on where to purchase equipment and supplies would be cool also.
