... "He further reasoned, that when heat did need to be removed from the "cold hole", it could be taken out "by its own energy"." No. Heat only transfers from a hotter to the colder temperature. ... Obviously, as usual, you don't even understand the proposal or the bas...

I don't think anyone needs "faith" to build an air-cycle refrigerator.

Oh, BTW, while we are on the subject of the "orifice" in a refrigeration system... There are of course several types. A refrigeration or heat pump system consists of two basic components. 1) a compressor or pump of some sort. 2) a tube or pipe connecting the pump outlet with the pump inlet...

Occasionally I do a search for the availability of any kind of small turbine, in particular Tesla turbine. There is this 3" diameter one finally appearing through several sellers on eBay, just in case anyone else is interested. Compress_20240518_065908_8453.jpg I'm not providing a link to any p...

According to Tesla's theory; if we had something like this setup: Compress_20240518_051903_3768.jpg If we first ran the Peltier module to cool the bottom plate. (Keeping it insulated of course, to preserve the cold). The engine could then run on the surrounding ambient heat, and with perfect insulat...

I was thinking of trying this, but looks like somebody beat me to it 3 years ago https://youtu.be/vsTIWhZ-6HM The top engine, (hot side of the Peltier), is, well, just watch the video. The Peltier device may not be that efficient at cooling, but it looks like it's putting out a lot of heat! I have y...

This is kind of interesting I think. I took the guts out of that six pack cooler. It didn't really amount to much. I wondered if the thing could run on 12 volts, maybe it could run on just 9 volts. So I found a place where I could attach a 9 volt battery on the back of the 12 volt power plug. Well, ...

With the long tube to power piston I'd bet it would have a better chance at running from heat of hand if the top side was the hot side. Seems like a good choice for cold bottom and ambient top side. I think the first thing I'd like to try is running one on ice and the other on heat. I'm interested ...

Maybe something could be done with one of these little tire inflator compressors. They actually contain a little thimble size, mechanically driven air compressor I'm pretty sure could be driven by a small LTD Stirling. Not to 300 psi obviously but it could move some air.

...Just hope this is not another one of those SE's building up to be a small bomb by self pressurization. Another one? There seems to be only one alleged or rumored anecdotal case of some such explosion, supposedly at the Phillips lab. Apparently not reported by the lab itself. about which practica...

Again, you don't know what your talking about I'm not going to waste any more time trying to educate someone who first can't recognize a simple "orifice" watches half a dozen videos, still claims "no orifice". When proven wrong doubles and triples down, making additional claims a...

Let me ask you fool. Do you doubt that evaporative cooling (using water) can reduce the temperature of the air? i.e. "swamp cooler". Why, OMG, how is that possible! Water boils at 212°F !!!!! You couldn't possibly use evaporating water to cool below 100°C !!!! Evaporative cooling with wate...

... I just have one more question, how does ipoo get -32 degrees C out of a chemical that boils at 10 degrees F, in a system that is running at atmospheric pressure? ... Funny how you believe the video can be easily faked by letting butane evaporate on the outside of the pipe, but can't believe the...
