Scientific studies have found 'belief' to be unreliable and has zero effect on experimental outcomes. Please don't take my word for that. Take meticulous data. Scientific/mathematical rigor is the only thing that will expose error. Even if a small amount of gas remains in the cold side of the engine...

Excellent. I wish you the best on that. Is it part of the, Martin Tajmar's group at the Dresden University of Technology? I heard rumors they are working on similar EM devices.

Here is another test. Fill a syringe with air. Place it in a vacuum. Measure the pressure by seeing how much weight it takes to depress it slightly. Cool it. See if it contracts. Measure again to see how much weight it takes to compress it the same small amount. Prediction: Nine tenths (9/10) (340 K...

For those that get it it does. For those that are experiencing cognitive dissonance it never will, their faith, denial and dogma are too high to let even blatantly obvious scientific facts in. And no one cares.

Then you also can't prove contraction, since the experiment proves pressure. Contraction and pressure are opposites. If one exists, the other can't. There is always pressure, even the vacuum of space has a ever so slightly positive pressure. Putting ice in the oven does prove freezing. Ice melts whe...

Work is put back in. Gets converted to heat. Picks up some of the rejected to cold sink heat. Puts both out onto the hot source.

To prove gases contract. A plugged syringe at atmospheric pressure, temperature and half full must be put into an ice water bath. After the air cools and the atmosphere pushed, compresses, in the cold gas. Put the bath and syringe into a vacuum chamber and evacuate the air. It will need to stay cont...

Heat is returned in a thing called a heat pump.

Kindly take your friend "fool" and get lost. Tom, please don't despair. Stroller appears to be a kind and knowledgeable experienced person whom I don't know or collaborate with. I'm sure that we could have a great time talking shop. I'm having fun talking shop with you. You may think I'm ...

I know you've seen the following two video links before. When you make engines as capable as these, or better, using your theories, people will be more willing to listen. Until then you will get a lot of opposition. Be very kind to those that stop to listen, and even kinder to those that enter into ...

That is possible. They would have a fairly long distance to travel through the cold space. They Appear to be only a few degrees warmer.

VincentG, the power piston is on the cold, plate and side. There shouldn't be any hot gas there. Right? The main things increasing the gas temperature there would be compression from the reverse stroke, and heat from friction, and atmosphere, if warmer maybe.

Your power piston cylinder appears at a higher temperature than the top of the cold plate. I can only guess why from the information recorded. Work is certainly a factor to consider. What it read before running wasn't given to me. I would expect the top of the cold plate to not be changing temperatu...

"Ah..., that doesn't apply to Stirling engines", I've been told again and again. If not, why not. The energy represented on a PV diagram depends on path, and the direction traveled on the path. The initial difference between a Stirling Engine and a Stirling cooler is the direction taken o...

Matt ran into the problem, in one of his schemes, that the temperature of the regenerator was significantly higher than the regenerator so was ineffective in that adiabatic temperature range of the cold plate. Conversely it didn't get high enough either, for the hot plate. Changed his theoretical ef...
