Response to Home heating and air conditioning

The Stirling cycle is reversible. if u put mechanical energy into the engine,ie, an electric motor to turn the engine it's cycle runs backwards and yes u can cool the house with it. Coleman(stove) makes
a free piston Stirling cooler !! (FPSE engine)

Response to powering a Stirling engine with HHO generator

<t>HI all, if u google Stirling engines , u will find more info than u can absorb. The Stirling engine is about as efficent as any low end IC engine. However, I have converted a 2 stroke enine to Stirling and it works quite well. I don't care about efficentcy (spelling !) because 1: i can make metha...

utopian websurfer......it isn't the vibration of a beer can that makes it cold.....it's the sudden release of pressure when u open the can that contributes to the cooling...????

Do a little more research, u might find better raw materials....
