Stan,SESUSA and list, This is wonderful, thanks Stan and AJO. I heartily agree that a commercial Stirling must be as simple and unique as possible. I have...
From a nuclear engineer friend in reactor design for many years. The Nuclear Sector Used(uses): Not Stainless steel but INCONEL with HIGH nickel & Chrome...
Hello Harry, AJO, Stan, list, thanks for the interesting insights. Harry may i ask You about Your data (approximately) for "void volume", "wetted area"...
Hi Bernard, The folded heaters look good and work well BUT they are complicated to make, have a large dead volume, are heavy and if you had to pay someone to...
Harry, It is interesting to note that in an earlier book (Air Engines) Allan Organ reports on some of the development work by Clucas and Raine which eventually...
Hello everyone at the fascinating world of Stirling, We are getting ready to prepare a team to design and manufacture on small scale stirling engines running...
Nagesh, Who is "we"? I understand efficient and low maintenance as being qualities served by a Stirling engine, but compact and light are unjustified for non- ...
Hello Harry, thanks a lot for Your detailed experiences and numbers ;) i put Your numbers (with enthusiasm) into my (analysis hobby) spreadsheet and got this: ...
Mr. Shetty, As Rick Topf pointed out, some of your objectives are counter intuitive in the extreme. I allowed your participation in this group based on your...
Harry and Bernhard, Do both of you know about the GCS spreadsheet and its purpose? Have you applied it to your engines to see what it says about the heat ...
Hi Rick, Thanks for your mail. We means Solar Energy design team in my company, Nityam Technologies. Well, I understood by your words of compact and light...
Hello again Nagesh, Thanks for responding. Perhaps we should not get too troubled by the weigh and size at this time. I will just remark that these are very...
So we are sitting in a conference room discussing the possibilities of making some Stirling generators to run off the sun to put at individual homes. Since it...
Harry, I am glad you do now understand better the use and purpose of the GCS. I is a very good tool and I have had good results with it. What the GCS does is...
Nagesh I am interested in the true needs of what you are looking for. To simulate and design solutions the problem needs to be understood, not the limitations...
Hello Tom, Hello Harry, Tom, thanks for Your work on GCS. The engine parts i'm thinking about differ from the scaling model USS P40/4-95 (type & drive ->...
Hi Mynasis, Thanks for your mail. We are just finalising our solar concentrator design basics and would post some of the details here very son. I would also...
Hello Mr Tom, Ur analysis seems interesting and need to be carefully studied and questioned. Have already forwarded to my team and will get back to you with...
Mr. Shetty, Here is another very reputable, competent Stirling engine company which has demonstrated the system you desire. http://www.infiniacorp.com/main.php...
Folks, The Teflon-filled polyimide sounds interesting. Should be able to take high temperatures. First time I've seen it mentioned in regard to Stirlings. Has...
Gentlemen and Ladies: Teflon-PTFE is a Polytetrafluoroethylene used in GoreTex and nonstick cookware, and also as a high-frequency, high temperature ...
John, I din't see any products with just polyimide and PTFE. Do you know the trade name? There is a product called Meldin 7021 that is PTFE and graphite ...
... Makes a lot of sense. In fact I always thought that PTFE compounds and or composites could optimally assemble all required charcteristics. I strongly...
Does anyone have more info on this Rotary engine ? The link (domain) has gone. Thanks Garret Krampe ... From: stanhbaker To: sesusa@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Garret, et al: The rotary stirling engine site has been abandonded. It was the work of Arthur Nomendson and featured his attempt to build a rotary Stirling...
Dear List Members, On March 24, 2009 the SESUSA list will be 10 years on the internet. In reflecting on the reasons for which I started the list and built the...
While I too suffer from the same maladies, no money or time, I must ask this question, you stated why you started the group, do you now feel the same way as...
