My idea is to use the excess heat from the hot side of a stirling engine to run and absorption ammonia cooler like the propane frig in a rv.When you add a water pump it takes energy from the engine but this just uses the wasted heat and gives really cold temperatures.The more heat you add to the hot...

Could the diaphragm on an engine like Junkies latest video also have a dual purpose? Use the enclosed top of the diaphragm to make a diaphragm water pump. Could be used for irrigation and assist the engines cooling.

Really amazing stuff.Are you familiar with Light Transmitting Concrete?It is concrete combined with optical fibers.The fibers make up only 4% of the volume.Some light actually comes throught concrete blocks. Carbon fiber comes in different forms. Ceramic matrix composite is one form.It is elastic fo...

I think people underestimate the power of rapid condensation. Colapsing Soda Can on You Tube - www.youtube.com/watch?v=skhSfFz28g0 Now my question is would that can colapse if it was heated to the same temperature and an atomized mist injected or is it the steam that is already in the can? If its ju...

Isnt the Barton evaprotive engine www.sunoba.com.au/evap%20engine%20intro.htm Isnt the Barton evaprotive engine similar to the Newcomen steam engine but just using the vacuum end of the cycle?Couldnt a simple model be built comparable to the pop can stirlings?Do you need the 2 opposing pistons or wo...

If your not familiar with Youtube googlle it.There are many vidoes of simple free piston stirlings.Some as simple as a pop can with a big flex straw for the power piston.Also add the word ringbow to your search.

that is one beautiful engine.I just cant believe how fast and powerful these homemade stirlings are becoming.The diaphram was a great leap forward.Could you please give the dimensions of the displacer?

It certainly seems like it would take the shock out of the bottom and top of the diaphram cycle.Shock and vibration are engine killers over time.

Ive made a few pop can gamma stirling engines.I like tripping them out to the maximum of my skill set.Graphite bushings made out of carpenter pencil lead.More eficient fire box using utube designed alcohol pop can stove with vortex forming skirt.Im going to make a big beta using the diaphram power p...

I know this isnt the barton evaporative engine cycle ,but would it work? I'll give it a go.It is a adiabatic expansion cycle.Adiabatic meaning not lossing or gaining heat.Think of a steam engine, a cyclinder with a sealed piston inside connected to a rod .The rod is connected to a fly wheel.The weig...
