Terot sterling engine running (8) accessories
« on: February 14, 2021, 07:08:34 am »
Since this Terot sterling beam engine seemed to have a little power , I thought I would see what it was capable of, turns out its quite capable of some real work ! its powering 8 accessories plus a double transmission , and if I had the room , it might do a little more.

I was looking for a hole cut in the table with a Jensen 20 down below sending a belt up for extra power. Very Impressive Bruce! You are the best at putting on a good show 👍

Thanks everybody, I Just kept adding accessories & it didn't seem to make any difference , I know with sterling engines they're kind of like a mule , when they hit they're limit they just shut down , not a lot of warning ...they just wont do it anymore. I might be able to dig up a few more things to see where its limit is ?

I have to say that is one of the most impressive demonstrations of load capacity for a relatively small Stirling Cycle engine that I can recall ever seeing! Shouldn't be too surprising I suppose, given that back in the day Stirling engines were tasked with jobs on a fairly equal basis with smaller steam engines, and offered far greater convenience to boot!

Nice run Bruce!!!

So much fun Bruce.

The set up is an engineering feat all by itself.

These Tarot Sterling Engines are great for driving accessories.

I am going to test it today with all of my workshops.

Hopefully, I will get some good footage.
