An outstanding example of the Stirling Engine by a group in Italy dedicated to understanding the thermodynamic process and making it work successfully.

A simple induction motor spun at faster that sync speed will function as an induction generator. Such things are very low maintainence because they don’t have any sliding contacts. It can also function as the starter for the engine.

I am glad to hear that the unit doesn’t make a lot of noise.
My question about the temperature of the outlet was because I was thinking of a way in which the system could be more efficient over all. A natural gas water heater and furnace are both very inefficient because they only heat the air or water to a modest temperature. If you Stirling engine was between the natural gas and the hot water or room air, the energy for the engine would be effectively free.

Water output temp …
Water output temp was about 60°C ( inlet 18°C)during this test.The generator we use here is a cheap permanent magnet motor with 2 poles. We removed unintentionally your previous comment about the noise by replacing the video. In fact in the previous video we enhanced the audio as we thought that was the best way to give to the viewer the perception of the motion. In reality the engine itself is quite silent, the noise comes out mostly from the chain of transmission: engine > generator.

What is the cooling water output temperature? Your generator doesn’t appear to be working very smoothly. How many pole generator is it?
