From What I have seen it looks like a nice cross between an external tube heat exchanger and some of the isothermalizer designs I have seen (nested cones etc) ...
Nail on the head ! Stirlings are the most simple engines known to man. Yet they can consume the most time, and money. You could call them a yatch. Like...
go look at the engines powering the Swedish submarines. ... From: garret To: sesusa@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, September 05, 2008 10:32 PM Subject: Re:...
The use of Stirling engines on submarines is so specialized in its requirements that it hardly counts. The same can be said of the use of Stirling engines by...
My philosophy is always KISS ! or for those more sensative types ... KIS will do. "Is the goal to design and build a Stirling that has commercial appeal, or is...
"...to design the most useful Stirling engine that is within the range of capabilities of a reasonably skilled amateur machinist?" That is why I joined this...
John, Please do not refer to this letter as anything official from SESUSA. It is Garret's opinion and viewpoint. The purpose of this group is to produce the...
To chime in here, Andrew's point is very similar to my way of thinking. (I'm a big fan of the "Jim Dandy" creation too). I do sense however, that there are ...
... Jim Dandy #6 is described in Brent Van Arsdell's book "Around the World by Stirling Engine" (don't expect any great insight, but it's a readable round-up...
List, Don't expect Jim Symansky to provide any drawings for you. I was told he died a few years back. If you realy like the design, make your own drawings....
Reply .. of course .. in-line ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I have had a hole in the water .. Someone else called it a...
... Thanks for the thoughtful response, sorry to keep you up late. Interesting about the CNG in Oz. But CNG at 5000psi would be a nice way to recharge an...
Garret, list I think you need to do some more research. I can't agree with all of this. I will agree that internal combustion will dominate as long as we...
... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Actually they have for some time been building Steam powered cars.The Stanley Steamer and...
... Is it necessarily true that substituting H2 or He for air (or N2) in ANY Stirling engine will result in improved performance? I have read and re-read...
Garret, I'm glad your thinking and I don't want to come off as mean, but I did have a couple more comments. I won't argue further about steam or electric cars,...
Not to mention that you would also need to pressurize He or H2 for the heat exchangers designed for air to be a decent match for a different gas. Higher...
I'm not going to argue with empirical testing by "THE AJO" My thoughts are obviously towards a low viscosity, higher conductivity, higher rate of thermal...
http://www.google.com/patents?id=ekwjAAAAEBAJ&pg=PA2&dq=stirling+fluid +cooling&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=1_1#PPA1,M1 Found a patent on something similar. ...
... I think that turbines are a great idea but they suffer from very low compression ratios and as every one knows it's the compression ratio that makes the...
... I don't have the book in front of me but from memory the argument runs something like this:- Postulate an engine optimised for best performance with H2....
A PARADOX .. lol Used to work for a company called Paradox once. Funny thing was that they sacked me and then found out I was the one keeping their engineering...
OK Upon further thought. Engine 1 1 MPa (145 PSI) 9000 CC ( 1395 CI) 500 C HOT (930F) 150 C Cold (300F) AIR => 220 RPM 2600 Watts (3.5HP) H2 => 780 RPM 9000...
