Tom, Thanks for your explanation. Am I right in understanding that the GSC has the prototype built into it and when given the desired size, power, speed etc...
MP, Thank you for writing the documentation file. I edited it some yesterday before I wrote the long winded response to your posting. Would you now take my...
Harry, Yes that is the idea. The lower temperature ratio will lower the performance of the engine. According to the West equation the power out is lowered by...
To List, I am hoping to attend the forthcoming International Stirling Engine Conference in Tokyo in September. Are any other members going? It will be a good...
Slavko, You are not missing anything, there are no software tools for the complete solution. Zig's four-bar tool can get the power piston dimensions. From...

Not unless I win the lottery and can completely retire and still afford Tokyo hotel rates! :) Yes you should try again to upload your file. Are you aware you...
Harry, The maximum upload size is 5.00 MB so we were just over the limit. I split the book in half and uploaded part 1 & 2. If you can edit it more and get...
Tom and List, I see the book is filed OK. I have arranged the pages in order so that if you print it with the first page on the front cover, other pages with...
Slavko, I have built a prototype engine with a further modified (bent) hoecken beam drive. I don't have a software tool that provides all the dimensions but I...
Hello everybody ,My name is Phong,from Thailand.I am a new on this forum.and propose design stirling engine as my thesis. now I read and study code from...
It looks like there are just a couple of spots that are difficult to read on p.369 and p.381 of the pdf. This probably won't help you very much because I don't...
Tom, In the future if you happen to edit a document and make significant changes, can you please add your name and date to the top? You should take credit for...
Hello all, I created a brand new web based forum for stirling engine discussion. Now all it needs is users. It is a web based forum and all people interested...
dunno really, just thought id throw that out there. ... http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/?link=list&sid=396545433 ... Jordan Rubin mydelorean.net Like Myspace for...
Thanks ,phillip for your help. About Urieli's 3rd order software that you told,what 's the name of software.In your link I found 2nd order software not found...
MP, I did not include my name because I don't want the credit. I am happy if it just gets done. You seem to still be sensitive to the fact that I corrected...
Phong, Oh, I could be mistaken, but I thought QSFM had a 3rd order component. Anyway, it is what it is. I highly recommend the MATLAB version, if you have...
a quick note on this. Given the options, Octave appears closest to matlab. The syntax is slightly different, so I'm trying to tweak it so that it runs, but it...
There have been many inquiries as to where plans could be bought for building a Stirling engine with some real output. Is 2.5 HP {1.8 kW) enough real power to...
Slavko, sorry I was enervated. Calling S56caa, hello? On your first mail I proposed to aid you in configuring a design by filling in the missing bits. This...
In reading the excellent paper re. the APAIR BELS configuration, I read in paragraph 2.3 that Zig states that the piston should have a 1.4 times larger stroke...
I agree - it should disappear! Those folks are just using the Stirling term to get some extra attention when they deserve none. Let's not aid and abet. Lee ......
... Hello... Yes its true. Zig has right. But that's correct only for at least 500 degres (Celsius/Kelvin) temperature diference. But the temperature inside...
