Leonardo Scollo, Can you be more specific as to what you're looking for, or what you're trying to accomplish? If it's energy generation you're interested in,...
Hi, thanks for your answer: Well, I'm just trying to get some of those good books over stirling engines that are quoted in almost all the old and new...
Leonardo, I'm also very intrigued by solar Stirling systems; however, sesusa deals strictly with the stirling component, so we should discuss the issues of...
In case you don't have enough to read, I uploaded some miscellaneous articles here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sesusa/files/Phillipps%27%20Folder/papers.zip...
Burners and solar concentrators are an integral part of the Stirling system and as such are quite an acceptable topic. Tom ... From: mphillipps2 To:...
Oh, sorry I misunderstood you Tom, I thought you didn't want us talking about those things here, that's why I wrote what I did. Okay great. I've been...
in response to a comment Rick made about selective laser sintered parts: http://www.memagazine.org/backissues/march97/features/cadart/cadart.html look for LENS...
The laser sintering process sounds interesting, but it makes me wonder, what is it that really makes Stirling Engines expensive? It seems like the best thing...
MP, As you may know, certain components of racing engines are ceramic coated for corrosion resistance, restistance to heat and smoother gas flow. These...
You are right in many ways - responses inline ... ******************************************************* was that 50% of the cost was RAW materials? that...
Somehow posted this to the wrong group. Sorry about that. James ... From: James E. Andreasen To: sesusa@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 06, 2006 4:01 PM ...
Chris, et al: Unless I am badly mistaken the LENS process is very similar to the "Linde" process for making synthetic saphire where the purified spinel powder...
Hello List, Another important message I got from the Phillips book was that since material costs dominate the price structure, designs need to be re-engineered...
Take a look at this link! Here's a source for graphite pistons & borosilicate (pyrex) glass cylinders. http://www.airpot.com/ Thoughts? -MP From the FAQ at...
MP, I suppose they may be useful as a cylinder liner in some designs. The difficulty with glass is the interface to other parts. Even if they can handle the...
... Melt it and thus "weld" it, or bond it with cement. ... In a beta or gamma type, doesn't the piston run cool? ... Instead, use heat transfer by radiation. ...
These are exactly what I was trying to build. I did not see prices, but I see they do provide samples. I wonder where they got the glass? The stuff I got was...
I think the issue is thermal mismatch. you can solder glass to metal - it is done in TV tubes and stuff, but they also have to design it to take up the slack....
I don't understand why you guys want a high operating temperature for the piston. Isn't the piston usually on the cold side in a beta or gamma SE? If so, it...
I wonder how many members we would have if I made it a requirement that you read the Hargreaves, Organ and Urieli books before you can post here ? just kidding...
Tom, Just as many as now, and they wouldn't understand a thing more than they do now...like the rest of us. Even Organ says he doesn't understand the Stirling!...
List: FYI Stirling cycle engine analysis (Modern energy studies) by Israel Urieli 1984 One copy from Library @ $250 on Amazon Partner. Air Engines, Organ,...
Yeah I know. I said I was kidding. But inter-library loans can be a wonderful thing. I got to read Organ and Urieli before I decided to buy them and I...
Hi List, Lets not forget the society publications by these authors and others. PDF and printed papers are avaliable for typically $1 per page. ieee.org ...
Hi all, My stirling engine never operated fine enough (an old antique engine), but now it is dead. Earlier, it would run for about 8 to 10 rounds when good...
Rahul & Listers: As long as you have all the parts and none have been damaged there is hope for a successful restoration. Clean all of the parts thoroughly. ...
Hi Stanhbaker and all, Thanks a lot for your advise. I have followed what you had advised but the problem remains the same. I want to put the sentence "the fan...
Rahul: I gather from the prior post that you have a Stirling engine powered fan. That it turns over freely or very easily when plug/screw is loosened to allow...
