In this video I show you the final assembling of the bidirectional impulse turbine and its first testrun.
If you want to reprint or modify the turbine you can download all 3D CAD models in the members area.

A membership costs only 99 cents.
The new bidirectional impulse turbine is the ideal addition to the thermoacoustic Stirling engine.
Unlike the piston drive used previously, it is virtually wear-free and can be easily produced by anyone with a 3D printer.
This combination makes my goal of simple and reliable personal energy production from renewable resources possible for everyone.
In the last video, I showed the basics and the manufacture of the turbine wheels.
The remaining components are now being completed and the first turbine test runs will now follow.
After removing the support structures and deburring, the ball bearings can be pressed directly into the guide vanes and the shaft can be glued into the rotor.
I try to simplify the thermoacoustic Stirling engine as much as possible, so that it can be built by anyone also without a well-equipped workshop.
At the same time, the acoustic performance has to be increased significantly to allow a sensible use of energy.
Over the last few weeks I have tried many different modifications and gradually increased the power.
By adjusting the length of the inertance and compliance, it is possible to amplify the thermoacoustic oscillations and minimise the harmful streaming.
I still believe in the potential of the thermoacoustic Stirling engine as a do-it-yourself micro cogeneration unit for everyone.
However, in order to achieve the necessary significant increase in power, a greater amount of working gas must pass through a higher temperature differential.
I will continue to experiment with the existing thermoacoustic engine to gain experience.
At the same time I am planning a larger version with significantly improved heat exchangers and much more thermoacoustic power.
What do you want to see most, more simplifications to rebuild or rather performance increases for power generation?
Has anyone reprinted turbine parts yet?
Please let me know in the comments!
