Response to Recharging batteries
<r>I'm glad you brought this up Duncan as I've been thinking along the same lines. <br/> To trickle charge the batteries you mention takes about 1/10C, or about a tenth of the total battery capacity. For example, if you have an AA battery with a rating of 1400mA/h, then you'll need to generate about...

Response to Smallest,heavy duty engine?
Why not find out where your cooker sucks air from, and run a pipe from there to a heat exchanger at the cold side of your engine?
You’d cool the cool side and preheat the air going to the cooker in one step.
I find it hard to visualize your problem without a better description.

<t>Doctor Davison, I like your idea of a Stirling powered ROV and have been thinking of improvements you could make to your final design:<br/> How about an extendible water input pipe that your ROV could direct into the output stream of a thermal vent? The incredibly hot water could power up/recharg...

Response to Stirling Engines in Cars?
<t>What seems to make the most sense to me is to run the Stirling in a hybrid configuration. Let it run at its optimal RPM and use it to run a generator. The generator would keep batteries charged. The rest of the car would be a normal electric drive train.<br/> Low power output would not be an issu...
