Hello Group, FYI.... I have now fitted a regenerator to my IC engine.... It's now a nearly exact copy of an original Ericsson cycle engine... exept for the IC...
I am curious, who on the list will be attending Corronwood this year. Bert B. C. (Bert) de Kat, P. Eng., 627 Woodhill Rd., Troy, ON L0R 2B0 Tel: 519.647.3075...
Hello Bert, I am planning on attending the Cottonwood show on Saturday (Mar 19). I will have four or five small models to exhibit. Rick Topf ... year....
Hello Lucas, still a drawing (instead of a link to something) would help understanding, what in your engine is IC and what is Ericsson. Hubert Stierhof ... now...
Hello Hubert, I decided to post some pictures and explain a little about my engine in an effort to mix things up a bit... you know, to get folks thinking...
Hello Hubert, After a tip from a friend I did a google search using your name... It seems that you are quite an accomplished engine designer and theorist......
Hi Hubert, Here's a little copy and paste of a discussion you were having back in 99'I'd have to say I'm a little disturbed by your sort of pretending to not...
Hello John Lucas, Yes, "... it is to better understand the engines operation" Don't feel persecuted.. we are in a discussion group here. Thanks for the...
First Hubert... Let me thank you for your reply... Next let me ask why didn't you inform me of your Ericsson thoughts on your own.... if you had done that...
John, I don' want to be the grumpy moderator but........ This off topic discussion has gone on for some time with no resolution in sight. Perhaps you guys...
Hello, John or Hubert, In your discussion, you noted '' the ... We have been studying Stirling regenerators for a couple of years. We conducted both fluid and...
Hi Tom, The guy asked for (more like demanded) drawings of my engine...a couple of times... I offered some patent numbers and an expanation of how it...
List, Where are you guys along the time line? What's the status of your design? Have you any drawings yet? Have you cut any metal yet? I'm prodding, but at the...
Hello Y.N., John qoeted me from an email six years ago. When I said:"Its major disadvantage(unsolvable problem) are the turbulences in the regenerator. The...
Some days ago I left an aluminum pizza pan (30 cm or 12" diameter) under the sun and after a while one could not touch it without burning, perhaps it would be...
I have seen pictures of some Senft engines that could run on unfocused sunlight. I think that a big concern is to make sure that the pans dont "oil can", or...
Arch, I am assumming that you are asking about the SESUSA2004 engine. There is no time line but work is progressing. I have 3D CAD models of the current...
Marcelo: Ever leave a stainless steel wrench in the sun for awhile in the summer. Picking it up is not fun. Go for it! I've been working on a solar powered...
marcelo: Yes, most likely if you can find some that have rigid bottoms, Dan built a DanCan Stirling using two paint can lids for the top and bottom of the...
Cool! Thanks for the link. Michael Couch http://groups.yahoo.com/group/save-10mil-kids-this-year/ ... Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new...
Can anyone offer any opinion on whether Stainless Steel wool or Bronze Wool is a good regenerator material? If so, which would be better? SS or Bronze? James...
James, That question depends on the maximum operating temp. of the engine. Most modern high temp engines use stainless steel screens. But stainless is a poor...
What is the stackable stirling project? Lee ... From: James E. Andreasen To: sesusa@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 12:14 PM Subject: [sesusa]...
Lee, Just another dream of how a stirling should be designed. I intend to share with anyone interested without applying for any patents. (I think the patent...
Can anyone offer any opinion on efficiecy of free piston engine? Is free piston engine more efficient than convention Stirling where displacer is driven by...
Stackable Stirling sounds like a cool idea, count me in, though I do have a few proprietary designs I'll have to keep to myself, I like the team concept. I've...
Howard, The answer is, It depends on several factors of which few are known and most are variable. All engines are constrained in their efficiency by the...
It is my experience that kinematic engines tend to be more efficient than free-piston Stirling engines. Properly designed free-piston engines can achieve full...
