some one made it based on your drawings

that I call the power of digital world connection with production

kim holder

gee, that's pretty neat.

there's a lot of metal in those things.

a lot of metal is what you should actually expect from those engines, if we talk about those which generate some significant power (not these model engines though)

I do not recal did I posted that already youtube.com/watch?v=WTjWw-QtN-c

water as a bearing? i don't recall seeing it.

MolbOrg

and that youtube.com/watch?v=vZU_55hANmY

and now we combine them both in rotary engine youtube.com/watch?v=fxDEK3Ymx30

viola - low pressure simple engine

easy to manufacture (potentially), simple material requirements, work at any pressure(low limit to just to make it rotate, top limit - blow the casing)

relatively high tech, and catchy and proven to work in low tech too

i could see using water bearings for the engine, but i don't see a reason to switch from the stirling engine to this though.

MolbOrg

those are air bearing they just use to demonstrate that they actually can use water there(it has some advantages in certain situations) here they are used as just air bearings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzTFxnNSj_A

so cool thing about this product it is universal in that regard

or probably this video is better youtube.com/watch?v=lOTWx69mghM
