Re: Re: mod II stirling engine report

Let's settle on one thing here. We are not talking about toys models. I understand the parasitic drag induced by the connector; but that's a compromise I am willing to make, and why not. It is in direct proportion to heat exchange area. Now a couple of question. Why do you need 150 bar and what rpm...

Re: Re: mod II stirling engine report

I can't add to my previous post; but here is....... Narrow pipes mean higher surface area and faster cooling/heating, Actually, small pipes have very little contact area since it is limited by the ID. The best way is to force air through many very arrow gaps of heating plates. I had in mind that yo...

Re: Re: mod II stirling engine report

When talking about cooling and heating you have not to forget about flow friction. The idea in powerful engines is to have small tubes so that contact area for heating/cooling would be big, and to do that heating/cooling is done by air going through narrow pipes. Now this is where problem occur. Nar...

Re: Plans for powerful Stirling engines

Well unfortunately I can't find any way to contact Mr. Ross, but last night, continuing my research, I found drawings for this awesome engine: https://www.nmri.go.jp/eng/khirata/stirling/nmri00/ecoboy.jpg http://www.nmri.go.jp/eng/khirata/stirling/minieco/index_e.html It has all dimensions for all p...

Plans for powerful Stirling engines

Hi everyone,

So I was wondering is there any detailed drawings for Stirling engines on the internet. All I can find are drawings for toy/hobby models, and I'm looking for something to produce at least 10W-100W shaft power.
