It is built almost entirely of 3D printed parts, except for some screws, nuts, and bearings. His engine is powered using the solar rays of the sun to provide the engine with enough heat to make it run. You can produce the heat in different ways hot water or sun rays. The Stirling engine by itself is a very old engine.
“And there are good designs on the way, but no one has tried to build a low-temperature Stirling engine for solar use, so this was my goal. “At the moment, a lot of people try to build Stirling engines with a 3D printer,” Haeuser explains to . We have seen other 3D printed Stirling engines created before which have operated using hot water, but this unique version by Haeuser may just open our eyes to the idea that we may one day soon be able to power different machines, devices, and systems using objects that can be created on virtually any desktop 3D printer. The typical Stirling engine operates by using cyclic compression and expansion of air at differing temperatures. Haeuser has designed and created the world’s first known 3D printed solar powered Stirling engine, an engine that runs completely off of the sun’s heat.
Haeuser himself is known for designing and creating several unique 3D printable devices, such as the “ RepRap Windturbine.” His latest creation, however, may just take the cake. Today we get a step closer, as we introduce you to a German aeronautical engineer named Andreas Haeuser and his incredible 3D printed creation. Perhaps we won’t only have 3D printed cars, but their motors and engines will be 3D printed as well. It makes me wonder just how much further along we will be in the next five or ten years. It seems as though just a couple years ago no one even knew what 3D printing was, and today we have everything from 3D printed houses to 3D printed cars, prosthetic hands, electronics, and more. Each and every day, I am blown away in yet another way by all of the new innovations that have quickly been coming into existence within the 3D printing space.
