Hi Paul, try this: http://www.stirlingengines.org.uk/files/camin.html#B14 The book I'd recommend is the one with the GBP32,- sticker ;-) Have fun! Harry...
Paul, Generally speaking, Ericsson cyle is open. This is why he is credited with the name of the cycle. Stirling gets the credit for the closed cycle...
Rick, By exemple, the Stoddard model is based on Ericsson system, but is a closed cycle. It seem's to me than a 2 pistons stirling with two selectives way...
Paul, I would not agree with your example. The Stoddard is not related to the Ericsson any more than a steam engine is related to gas IC engines. The Ericsson...

Hello list, I have uploaded an computer image of a Stirling engine that I am currently building. It is a medium temp diferentical (MTD) designed to operate...
Hello Rick, sorry, I don't agree with your view, that the Stoddard engine is that different to the Ericsoon cycle. " While it(Stoddard) is closed cycle, has...
Hello Hubert, I don't want a big debate but I am standing by my statement. This could be a case of which Ericsson engine you are refering too. John Ericsson...
Hello Rick, we might get confused here. The ERICSSON CYCLE is known as a cycle, where BOTH cylinders have an inlet AND a outlet valve like the Stoddard. ...
I am looking for a good description / timing diagram for the Sterling cycle. Does anyone have a source for the low level details that describes how a sterling...
Jeff: If you have an existing engine vary the crank angle of the displacer from the nominal 90 deg. ahead of the power piston. Ivo Kolin explored the...
Hello all, a quick intro, My name is John vanZanten, several months ago my father purchased a 9x20 mini lathe. He and I both have a strong interest in metal...
Hello John, A PICTURE TELLS MORE THAN A THOUSAND WORDS ! Please put a picture to our files- or photo section, and tell us some more facts on the engine (sizes,...
Thanks the reply Hubert I will be happy to take some pictures and post them here. It may take a day or two to get that done. When I do I will provide more...
TO: John vanZanten <johnnyandjebus@y... And Listers. To add a bit to what Huber suggested. Several considerations for LTD Stirling Engines The enclosed volume...
Thanks for the reply, I want to post some pictures for further advice, but have been busy with other things, I hope to make some modifications to ensure all...
A question about the stirling cycle. I have read the theory behind how a stirling works but get lost one point. The first power stroke is caused by the warm...
Hello John, 1.) The power you get by sucking is the over pressure of the other side. 2.) The flywheel is needed anyway to overcome the dead points, where no...
I think what you are saying is that the engine needs a leakage of air during operation. At startup the amount of air leakage is increased due to the slow...
Non-Inertia-Feedback-Thermofluidic-Engine (NIFTE) Hello warmairers, let me report on a new thermodynamic engine invented by Thomas.C.B.Smith (Cambridge...
Hi Folks, I am just starting on my first LTD Stirling engine. I have done a lot of reading, and even purchased the LTD book by Dr. Senft, so I have a pretty...
Daya: Don't have experience with EDM grade but most grades of block graphite should be quite similar. Reactor grade graphite was "machined" with ordinary power...
Thank you for the info. I dont have a high quality respirator, but will wear a "Woodworking quality" mask, and try to setup a shopvac right at the lathetool. I...
I am trying to stop all this dam spam, so fae I havent been able to, or I dont know how. I am sick of all this stull, QUIT SENDING US ALL YOUR CRAP. stirlnjoe...
... Are you implying that I'm spamming you? You just have to ban the spammers, not just start spamming yourself. Sensuble moderators have new members on...
I'm looking for a software-based simulator that will take design parameters of a Stirling engine and simulate the action of the engine, as an animation. I...
uhm... maybe you can simulate it with adams, or pro-engineer... both are great in simulating mechanical systems, but prepare yourself for a long work. Cheers, ...
