Power to weight in modern Stirling
Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2009 10:33 pm
I have been looking into the application of stirlings to automotives
but I cant find many resources. Does anyone know what kind of power
to weight ratio a modern Stirling gets? I know they have decent sized
engines in a solar power setup (http://www.stirlingenergy.com/).
For example, if I wanted a 50 hp Stirling engine how heavy would it be
an how large? How about a 100 hp?
Also do you know of any companies currently producing Stirling engines
in these sizes?
Thanks
