I am begining the modifications to the web site to explain the process of determining the specifications of a Stirling engine for an application. It is under...
First, I'm beginner in the Stirling community, and new to the group, but I am a physicist, with whatever good or bad connotations you want to read into that....
Hal, I don't think it does heat all the air. I believe that the air it does heat expands sufficiently to move the mechanism. The toys don't produce any power...
Hal, My understanding is that your model engine does not have a "regenerator" per se; but if it did have one, consider where it would be. Is it possible that...
Hal, I agree that it does not seem possible that there is enough time for the heat transfer to take place between the "walls" and the mass of air inside the...
Thanks to all you guys, you have helped enormously to clarify my thinking. (And to Archibald, I gave a talk---not about Stirling engines) at CSM in Golden last...
No offense intended. I gave all you guys credit for educating me, and was just trying to say it in my own words. Brent van Arsdell also answered the same...
sesusa, For an engine without a regenerator, it seems like a relatively efficient flow pattern, since the warmest fluid on the cold side goes around the...
I think you pretty much nailed it. I would add that there have been engines (the artificial heart thermocompressor) that used multiple jets distributed around...
Oops. Why aren't holes in the displacer counterproductive? I would have thought that since it is the inflow layer on the bottom plate that is doing the heat...
On HAES Rick Topf astutely said "Adding a regenerator can make a difference, but it not clear to me that the benefit is from thermodynamic regenerative...
SESUSA, "LTD" is an abbreviation for "Low Temperature Differential", but it also stands for "Limited". Ha! Now don't get me wrong, I like LTD engines, they're...
pardon my ignorance. I have been looking for some open source software. I haven't found any yet that was 'complete'. What package are you referring to here?...
Brad, What exactly do you mean by 'complete' ????????... Heh heh. Honestly, I've been busy for the past few months, and I haven't really been following the...
I'm Cross-posting this from a different list. Contact him - not me! Adam. ... From: "James" <jgoff1946@...> To: <machined_hobbiest@yahoogroups.com> ...
Mark, What kind of support and information do you need to go ahead with your project to interface the GCS and QSFM through the text page interface? You...
Tom, So you think that interface is a good idea? I was just looking for a second opinion, or to see if anyone had a better way. Basically on the surface of...
SESUSA, I put together a simple interface from GCS to QSFM. It basically works, but currently it requires an extra step or two for converting a windows/DOS...
... converting a windows/DOS text file to the UNIX format. The problem is QSFM is expecting just a line-feed, but it's getting a carriage- return too and it's...
Hello All, I have been looking at the "gas circuit calculator" and have input the parameters for the Viebech engine from Germany that runs at 450-500W (520CC,...
John, I think this might be the problem you're having: After typing in each value, hit <enter>, don't use any commas. (The prompt is a little misleading in...

Just to let the group know that Mike Phillips has made some excellent additions to the GCS that formats the data for stim.exe to read and also he developed a...
... Sorry I took so long to respond to this idea but I missed it in the first few readings of your reply. Someone, possibly Schmidt himself, optimized the...
