Casey, The most discussion I have found regarding the swashplate is in The Phillips Stirling Engine starting on page 360. It is a short intro to swashplates...

This company http://www.energyinnovations.com/ has a very cute looking solar powered sterling engine they plan to ship in 2004! And it is mostly plastic!...

Firstly thanks to all those who responded to my original request in regard the regenerator...many thanks the responses were of a great help. My next question...
Thank you for trying to help but the website referred to is no more help then some 12 months ago when I first discovered it. In other words I am stil looking. ...
Well John, I think you have found the crux of the problem. There is NO 'real Stirling' store to go buy a motor or a cooler (by the way the COP of the bi-phase...

Not to get anal and pedantic (he says as he gets ready to do both) But the swiss engine shown is a AFAIK a wobble plate, and the GM compressor is a swash...
Hi, My name is Walter Owens and I've just recently joined this list. I've spent the last week reading through most of the archive and a pretty generous sample...
Walter, First, welcome to the group and thank you for your well thought input. Secondly a few thoughts to add to your concept. If you take the alogorithm of...
I agree that the design and fabrication of effective heat exchangers is an important challenge to Stirling engine development. Other important challenges...
Brad, Perhaps the gas circuit is the most important because it is the least understood ? The other challenges and issues are difficult but solutions seem more...
I am only a beginner at Stirlings, but I think you could well have something there. However, if we concentrate on aircraft engine types, which is were the...
Terry and Tom, I have followed the discussions on the recuperator issue very closely. There appears to be a few woolly issues at play here. 1. Is the heat...
Johann, As you may have noted from my remarks in other posts, I am very new to a study of the Stirling engine, but not to using my hands in other areas, mostly...
Johann, I believe you are confusing the recouperator with the Stirling regenerator. They are two related but distinctly separate devices used in different...

Mick, Play the word association game with your non technical friends and see what they say when you say Hydrogen. Many people respond 'bomb' immediately. At...

Wade I would like to reply to two posts at once here. The other was asking why we need to cool the hot gasses before returning them the the heat chamber, and...
I do not seem to communicate too well. I realise that there should be a hot side and a cold side in order for work to be done. In basic terms, we require an...
Hi Tom Thanks for your reply, the first I have had I think since joining SESUSA a year or so ago. My need is for a small; silent generator to run a Danfoss...
Hello Johann, with an regenerator the pre-heated gas reaches a higher end temperature (from your solar side) and the other way around the pre-cooled gas gets...
Johann, You are on he right track but perhaps you are still a bit confused about the difference between a Stirling regenerator and a recouperator. "The...
John, The HotAirEngineSociety list is much more 'hands on' than SESUSA which is mainly discussing the theory and design of the gas circuit at this time. If...
Johann, Hot Air Engines do not have to take in a fresh charge of air to be so classified. For instance, the Archibald Cycle Engine, ( which I have never gotten...
