Response to Stirling engine made from scroll expander

<r><br/> wow...<br/> <br/> Robert is ramblig a bit!?<br/> Well, I have rambled before, but I think he does not understand the unique properties of a Stirling, he does not understand we are here to promote that particular engine design, and he has some fear of exploding oils that is beyond reason.<br...

Response to 4.5 kW Biomass fueled engine

<r><br/> <br/> Read over the posts in your spare time, and you will notice discussion about an engine called the ST-5. Whatever else peopled are talking about, this engine is about to be mass produced in China, cost a few grand in dollars, run longer than a diesel engine, and will produce 5 HP to a ...

Response to Book Review - "How I Built a 5 HP Stirling engine"

<t>I am staying out of this one, because this is not a technical thing, but could involve various parties in an international legal dispute.<br/> <br/> If Dr. L. Merrick Lockwood wrote a book that took some liberties, which it sounds like he did, it really is not important, unless he works for the e...

Response to 4.5 kW Biomass fueled engine

<r><br/> I am very much looking forward to the release of the ST-5. Somebody posted some current projects with Oraganic Rankine, which were cool, but much larger, more mechanically complicated, and already more than the estimated ST-5 market rate of about three grand each.<br/> <br/> I have already ...

Response to Cryo cooling Stirling engines

<r><br/> The answer to his question, my idea with no moving parts, is considered a Stirling engine. On this BBS are other entries for the thermoacoustic type. And although the little lab models, and various industrial applications do not have an off-the-shelf model ready for his automobile applicati...

Response to Cryo cooling Stirling engines

<t><br/> hello?<br/> testing?<br/> can anybody hear me?<br/> <br/> the answer is:<br/> <br/> If you paid me enough, just because you had it, and it was fun for an experiment, I could have built for you a Stirling cooler that runs off the heat of the engine exhaust that produced practical work in the...

Response to Cryo cooling Stirling engines

<t><br/> Interesting ....<br/> <br/> Cate, you are still thinking of using the heat of the engine to run a more or less Stiring engine, to turn a mechanical Stirling cooler.<br/> <br/> no no no<br/> <br/> It is possible to use a Stirling cooler that uses only heat for an input. I have posted in seve...
