New design of Stirling Engine - how to proceed
Posted: Thu Jan 13, 2005 3:34 pm
Greetings all.
For about three years now I have been looking into Stirling cycle
engines and have read all about designs such as the alpha type or the
gamma type and the Philips Rhombic drive etc.
I genuinely believe I have invented a completely new design of
Stirling now however and thought the internet would be the perfect
place to continue.
I am not in a position to go down the road of patenting the design
and would be more than happy to release it to the world providing
that I was credited as the designer.
This may all be a pipe dream and some of you experts out there may
turn round and say 'That'll never work' but at the same time, Id like
to put it to the forum and get some feedback.
If it does work, I relaise there's every possibility too that
somebody will turn round and say 'Oh no, NASA built half a dozen of
them back in 1972'. If so... great. Its all part of the learning
curve!
Please let me know if this is a good idea.
Regards.
