 Introduction
• First developed in 1816 by Reverend
Dr. Robert stirling
• After development, had little use unt
il the mid 1900’s, when it became m
ore common
• Used today in many applications, pri
marily green energy, since the heat s
ource can be anything (geothermal, s
olar, etc.)
• stirling engine has a sealed cylinder with one
part hot and the other cold
• In cylinder there should be air, helium or hyd
rogen.
• There will be one displacer which can be use
d for crankshaft motion.
• When gas hits up it expand and pressure on d
isplacer
• It can also useful because we can give motio
n to any element by crank shaft.
• Mostly in solar power generation can be used
where heat source is sun light.
 IDEA

• There are two power generator for electricity.

• one is Diesel and another one is silent generator,
but both are not cost effective
• At presence increasing diesel price day by day make it c
ostlier.
• Thus we think machine that can generate electricity or
also can be used for another motion
• And Also In our Workshop, There is no this type Machi
ne. So, we think to make this type machine.
 ABSTRACT
In rural area electricity problem
But its cost effective to supply electricity
Thus in project we make simple stirling engine
By that we can generate electricity
Here we demonstrate it for simple battery charge
r.
stirling engine when heated ,there will mechanic
al motion in engine
From that by rotating motor we generate 12v for
battery charging or another application.
 WORKING
There is two end one hot and other cold
When one end of stirling engine heated ,air will expand
and pressure displacer to move upward side
By connecting this displacer to crack shaft we get mecha
nical motion
And connecting motor after crank shaft we get 12v for b
attery charging
After displacer reach top position, air cooled and piston
move downward
Again piston heated and move upward.
By this back and forth movement we get continuous sup
ply
 Type of stirling engine
• Main application of the stirling cycle
• Uses pistons and cylinders to rotate a cra
nkshaft
• Two types/configurations – Alpha and B
eta
• Alpha Stirling engines use two cylinders
and two pistons
• Beta Stirling engines use one cylinder, o
ne piston and a “displacer”

 The Stirling Cycle

 Advantage
• Simple design
• Low cost
• Portable
• Good Performance
• Good efficiency

 Conclusion
• Low torque
• In order to be more efficient, it requi
res metals with very high thermal co
nductivity, which can be expensive
• Rotation is not always smooth – the
fluid sometimes heats up faster than
it cools off
