There is an important Stirling engine book that you definitely need to buy and read. It's titled Thermoacoustics by G.W. Swift.


Buy a copy here Thermoacoustics by Swift.


Or read a review under the power producing forum. Review of Thermoacoustics by Swift.

If the link above doesn't work. Here's a link that should work:

<t>Once in a while a new book comes along that changes your perspective,<br/> and after that you'll never see things the same way again.<br/> "Thermoacoustics a Unifying Perspective for Some Engines and<br/> Refrigerators" by G.W. Swift is such a book. <br/> <br/> <br/> As you may or may not know, i...

<r>I don't think that their explanation of how the engine works, is necessarily correct or complete, but these engines do work! One of our previous users built one and got it running as described here:<br/> <URL url="http://www.stirlingengine.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=00002M&topic_...

<t>You can't use only a thermometer. In fact you don't even need a thermometer. Rig up a thread and a tiny weight to a pully and set the engine up so it raises a weight. Measure the time it takes to raise the weight. Look up the exact formula for measuring power this way in a physics book (I forgot ...
