Need Stirling Engine Engineers in Dallas Area
Posted: Wed Nov 01, 2006 6:41 pm
I have moved to Dallas recently. I am looking for the mechanical
types to help design and build electric power generation systems using
Sterlings as the engine. The system I am working on will have both
active heating and cooling components designed to produced about a 800
to 1000 degree temperature difference in large amounts/volumes of
air/gas. The hot side would have high temp of around 800/900 degrees
with the cold side way down in the sub zero range. I would like to
find people in the area that have built Stirling engines of the
various kinds, we can then begin to experiment and design systems
using my heating and cooling processes. We can start off with systems
with much less temp variance to save on design and material issues.
I am not overly mechanical, but I have ran across some technologies
(some old and some new) that I feel when all are applied together will
easily produce a total energy storage and conversion system that will
economically provide the fuel for home, industrial and commercial
sized power generation facilities. The key to my plan is quite
important - there are no costly consumables. The cost will be the
building materials, engine and sub-system parts and construction. The
fuel source is a combination of solar and OTHER. The active cold
process is actually a ancient one that uses some relatively abundant
natural materials and mechanical processes to create very cold
temperatures.
Well I hope I have peaked someones interest. I just have no skill or
tools to build any of the mechanical or engine parts. It is my hope
someone in the Dallas area, who loves to build Stirling engines, will
reply and we and discuss how to build a working test system.
Thank you in advance:
Lee
