RimstarOrg | Stirling Engine Powered by Fresnel Lens/Concentrated Solar Power @RimstarOrg | Uploaded 11 years ago | Updated 9 hours ago
This is my big Stirling engine being powered by my Fresnel lens, basically concentrated solar power or concentrated sunlight. I also used a mirror. I illustrate how the Fresnel lens concentrates the sunlight onto a mirror which reflects and continues the concentration onto the bottom of the Stirling engine's cylinder. I also show how the Stirling engine's top plate acts as a heat sink, cooling the air in the cylinder. I also demonstrate spraying water for cooling the Stirling engine and the use of my homemade fan as a load.
