In that case, I'd say 70 units of heat would be "rejected" to the room. The rest going out as "work" is tied up as potential energy in the lifted weight. Ok, now were getting somewhere. Now how do we tie in the theory that there is a potential lowering of gas temperature and ref...

The engine is perfectly insulated so no heat is lost other than what is exhausted or rejected to the sink. The heat is supplied to the engine within the confines of an isolated chamber so as to not heat the room directly. The only thing heating the room is what is exhausted/rejected to the sink. In...

Basically looks like the "hot" piston has been entirely replaced by a displacer, or perhaps regenerative displacer of some sort, but no longer an Alpha type piston.

The following is some improvements to the original post, not a direct Quote: Question: How does Qh an Qc become Q's all the way to Zero, and then, Th and Tc? Answer: . ... ...So Qhz should have the same relation ship to Qcz that DQh has to DQc, in other words, 'n' is the same. Basically this says t...

I was trying to negotiate the purchase of one of those generators, maybe a couple years ago, or even be a US distributor. There was some trade import/export restriction of some sort, apparently, as I recall. Not sure or the nature of the issue or what country or countries imposed this. There seemed ...

... This is a fundamental issue that needs to be resolved here. With expansion towards BDC, the internal energy can remain constant while temperature lowers. Not in my opinion. Speaking generally, ("ideal gases") internal energy and kinetic energy are the same thing. The measure of kineti...

I've got a new theory, without naming names.

Googles AI suggests the opposite of the results I obtained:

Anyway, the whole subject is full of so many contradictions and apparent nonsense and unresolved differences of opinion I decided I needed to do some experiments of my own to try and resolve some of the issues and questions. Like, run an engine on ice and measure the rate at which the ice melts. I r...

Don't ask me.

Tom is proposing that heat energy disappears and the internal energy of the gas reduces after becoming mechanical motion. ... Is that accurate? Except that I don't consider "heat energy disappears" and "internal energy of the gas reduces" two separate. Operations. Heat going in ...

Conversely, performance of the drinking bird can be greatly enhanced by reducing ambient air pressure, as this vid demonstrates:

LOL...

The bird flipping over after being hit with the "duster" was hilarious.

Is this lunacy "established science"? https://youtu.be/V3nNgygrmsI?si=r4K7VeLnT1otan-q What happens if you raise an objection? Maybe my little LTD could utilize 21% of the heat supplied. No, that would require going to absolute zero. Perpetual motion. You can be "absolutely certain th...

Noted equation: Qhz-Qcz = DQh = DT• Cv•M (Noted equation) Where: DT = Delta T = Th-Tc M = Mass Cv = specific heat. ... There is, I think, a kind of paradox in this "noted equation" that could potentially cause all kinds of problems, errors, ambiguities etc. as it is incorporated and used ...

Nobody could build a Carnot engine so how could you ever "prove" it isn't "the most efficient engine possible". Well, after some thought, my reasoning was, If heat is, or isn't supposed to go through the engine and is or is not "converted" and all this is too difficult...
