Hello, I am looking for alternator design assistance. I will be working with a 3-5 inch LTD, and designing a linear alternator to fit. I will use super...
Im new to the group and the idea of stirling motors. i have a idea of using a plastic 5 GAL. paint bucket to make a displacement type stirling, styrofoam for...
Bob From your post ... I don't think there is any possible way to build a multi-phase linear alternator that is directly attached to a single reciprocating...
Lee et al, Actually I believe you are quite wrong on this one Lee. It is easy to imagine that the three phase power of which he speaks is separated by 120...
John et al, Well, lets think about it a bit. We would have 3 magnets labeled A, B, & C spaced along a single (lets assume horizontal for the moment) rod...
Lee, Since et al seem to be be keeping quiet I will address only you for now until they chime in. There is at least one way out of this, albeit a bit messy. I...
Simulators Vs. Reality Part 1 After an in-depth of the study the Stirling engine literature, it appears that many simulators have been written and used by many...
Excellent ! A really fine beginning. Gary ... From: "Tom Gentry" <t.gentry@...> To: "sesusa" <sesusa@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 11:17...
Design information related to linear alternator designs can be found in the book: "Linear Electric Actuators and Generators" by I. Boldea and S. A. Nasar, ...
Hello Bob, here is a Stirling enthusiast, who had build a linear alternator to a Moving Cylinder Stirling engine (my design) successfully. It's Slavko...
Tom An excellent start to a discussion. I do not agree with the ratio/scaling approach for anything other than a utilitarian "engineering" approach to...
Lee, So what would be your methodology to design and build a power producing Stirling engine (i.e. not a toy but 3-4 kW) ? Tom [Non-text portions of this...
I wish to thank you for the input on linear alternators. I have already read Nassar et all. It was confusing when I tried to convert actuators to alternator...
Hello Tom, I know that the design is not a normal topic for this board. In this case the design of a LTD would be greatly affected by this part. I would...
Hello, A question of power. What type of stroke would produce more voltage. a 3 phase alternator with a long stroke, or a 1 phase alternator with a very short...
You guys have finally convinced me of something I should have done a long time ago, and that is to write the code to solve the full thermodynamic equations...
Gary, I applaud your enthusiasm and wish you the best of fortune. I have but one question. Which equation set would will it be ? Tom ... From: Gary Hoffman To:...
EBAY item #: 3813790251 Description from EBAY" "A unique opportunity to buy an exceedingly rare piece of engineering history. This item for auction is a...
Tom, Well, of course, the whole point is that it will Not be one of the established "equation sets" that we all know and love. That's because none of them...
Tom, Well, of course, the whole point is that it will Not be one of the established "equation sets" that we all know and love. That's because none of them...
Tom I would ask myself a few questions: What exactly do I wish to achieve? Do I want an engine that mimics the typical Stirling design, runs acceptably well,...
... Yes. I want to be able to construct a Stirling engine of a particular size and performance with the same ease as constructing an IC engine of the same...
Im new to the thought of stirling motors but from what ive read as of yet there is no clear method like Tom is looking for. thoes with the P.H.D's have not ...
<rumages through mental attic> <finds old reliable soap box> <stands atop said soap box> You are ALL WRONG! OK I have drastically overstated my case, but if...
Greg, It is interesting that you should ask this at a time when others are debating the usefulness of scaling parameters form others designs. Although I can't...
Hi Rick, you have made good points for me to look at. as far as market place realities go we may not feel the need for stirlings for another year or two when...
Hi again Greg, I think you are right about the energy market changing. I am in Southern California where gas has been over $2.10/gal for the past two months....
Chris, First, we can't all be wrong because I agree with you. With a BUT inserted for the following comment. If the person who wants to build the engine does...
Tom G., Does anyone know what will happen if one puts identical input into SCALIT I and compares it with identical input into SCALIT II? I would be interested...
