<t>This is in response to John Read's message about a packaged steam plan intended for production in the Philippines, and producer gas work. <br/> I am also interested in producer-gas plants, though primarily to feed derated IC engines. The gentleman with whom I was exploring Stirlings and I conclud...

<t>Jim Hunt suggests an Aussie Web site as a source for a packaged coco-oil plant, but the guy I'm doing this research for already has a similar one - only the grater is manual, not electric - in testing at a remote (100 nm by sea in a small boat) production site. No need to go to Australia for that...

I'm curious about the status of this project. There are no new posts since 2003. Does that mean it's dead (and if so, why?) or simply that the project entered a new phase and comments were no longer posted?

There have been Stirling-cycle engines in which diaphragms or bellows have been used in place of pistons. The Harwell thermo-mechanical generator or Themodyne, developed in the late 60's and early 70's, is one example. Marc de Piolenc, Iligan City, Philippines

<t>I suggest turning your idea inside-out - charging a ductile metal tube with a reversible phase-change material, then drawing the tubing out to very small diameter. This is a very well-understood technique - it just requires a lot of patience, and the phase-change material has to be able to take t...

<t>I realise that I am coming very late to this conversation, but please indulge me, as I am fairly new to Stirlings. I'm an American/French dual national mechanical engineer living in the Philippines since 1998. This country has no domestic oil resources. On the other hand, it has a lot of waste bi...
