Re: Under the Hood, Stirling Engine Vehicles (Photo Catalogu
Hey Krijn Thanks for all the information, really good stuff! I've put it into the first post. I've also added some more pics and links. I think you will especially like the PDF at the top of the first post... I have saved a copy of the images from the internet, in case the links were to disappear. B...

Website Links Area and Magazine Articles..
Here are some search links from 'google books' for books with stirling/hot air engine content.. All the results will give you full access to the books, and can be read from beginning to end. Most of them can be downloaded as Ebooks, many for free and some to buy, but no need to buy as you can read t...

Re: My stirling engine project
Hi jorgealdobr, If you can't use windows print-screen functions- Then here's some freeware/software that i use to capture screenshots. I've been using it for many years, for many situations, without fail. You can choose multiple capture size/options, file types, file destinations, hot keys, cropping...

Re: Is the mm5 coffee cup Stirling engine completely airtigh
Ah, i see.. I would say yes, if the temp increase was significant enough. An easy tell would be to see the rpm increase... It would be very nice to see if the rpm increased by the same amount as the theoretical efficiency difference, although it may not for different reasons, but its worth a try! fo...

Re: what cycle does this engine use?
Yea, i see what your saying Blade. I guess in a loose way i meant, hot air in, cooler air and power out.. as opposed to the inverse- cool air in, warmer air and power out.. But that is definitely too simplistic a comparison Your right- the flame of ignorance doesn't hurt when you burn.. :wink: much ...

Re: Under the Hood, Stirling Engine Vehicles (Photo Catalogu
Thought i'd do a post to bump up this older thread. I found some more info on the elusive 1964 Calvair with some interesting photo imagery to boot, Plus I've progressively added a few other vehicle images to the original post over time. (refer to original post...) also Ian, Was wondering if you were...

Re: what cycle does this engine use?
Hey blade, fullofhotair, Ian and anyone interested I must state clearly, that I don't claim to know much about these engines, but find some of this stuff is very interesting and worth further investigation!! (imo) (I do have some further questions but will leave it for later) Here is some stuff that...
