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, ...
... That sounds expensive Try looking at http://www.keveney.com and hopefully one of his forms matches yours enough so you can work out what's going on. It...
Hi, I'm doing a project with a group at my university where we will compare a home heating system where the wasted heat would be used to run a stirling engine...
I agree with Robert in that the heating system should be improved to reduce waste heat, but the reality is that there is always going to be waste heat even if...
Richard, the Whispergen requires an external burning fuel. This generator requires a high difference in temperature which is not good for operating from waste...
I agree with both. I've got no practical experience in building/designing stirling engines, but IMHO: 1. Stirling engines may be designed to work with low...
Assuming a house with your own roof and attic, a lot of the convection heat is lost through the roof, even with thick insulation installed on the floor of the...
You guys are looking at this all bass ackwards. Don't run the stirling off the waste heat from space heating - use the waste heat from the stirling to provide...
... Now, I think that's an interesting idea, which I have been thinking over recently. There's a small wind turbine company in Scotland called Proven Energy...
I was going to sugest the same thing. Use your primary source of heat to run the stirling then use the waste stirling heat to warm the house if there is...
The commercial products that I know of are: Wispergen www.whispergen.com Infinia www.infiniacorp.com They have specifications & performance pages somewhere in ...
