Yes, it is possible to build a 5 kW Ringbom engine. I believe that larger Ringbom engines have been built. Stirling Technology Company of Richland, Washington...

Hi Tom, Thanks for your message. I have seen the Sunpower web site and will contact them regarding the little engine they sale for demonstration. I have the...
Hi Rich, Just cleaning some old emails out of my box, so I may reply to some of them. Actually, I don't run across many old bottle jacks. I have another...
From my reading of senft's book on the subject the main problem with ringbom is the energy driving the displacer. Too small and it will go too slow, too large...

I think that the displacer could be suspended by planar springs a la the so called free-piston engine and the power piston be connected to a crank for removal...
The problem with that approach is that the engine will only run well at one speed. Senft does talk about having sprung return for the displacer - gas springs-,...
As I understand the system, synchronous generator MUST run at one speed and as the prime mover tries to increase the angular velocity power is transfered into...

First, Tom is right that the scenario he describes is a good fit. once a synchronous generator is locked in to the grid any attempt by the machine to try to...
