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 ...
Listers: FYI LTD Stirling engines are LOW TEMPERARUE DIFFERENTIAL engines. They have little or next to NO power output over what is needed to run themselves....
DONT, under any circumstances, use the waste heat of home heating to run a Stirling. The reason for this is that there IS NO WASTE HEAT for the home geating...
I'm new to the group, have sterlings on the brain, and a question: Heat conductivity into air? is there an easy way to figure out how fast? For example, if an...
John ? I can't give you exact numbers, but it's - the thermal conductance of the air, (which is very bad) - the delta temperature - the flow of air and -...
I'm interested in building a Sterling engine. I had an idea and maybe someone could help me figure this idea out. The basic idea is to use the heat from the...
I've been working on designing a no-moving-parts engine which compresses air given a hot source and cold sink. It uses a bubble pump to raise water and a...
Hello all I am in the process of building a Stirling engine and have a couple of questions. First a description of the engine( I will try to post photos...
John, Some thoughts on your recent post; #1 I think that your displacer clearance is excessive. I try for 15 to 30 thousandths wall clearance on my models. ...
Paul thanks for the reply 1 regarding wall clearance, I can and will make a new displacer with tighter wall clearance. My thought on this(not knowing much...
John, Your end clearances are also excessive. Try for 30 to 50 thou. I might also mention that the displacer should be as light as possible. It takes energy to...
John, Paul: FYI Some basic considerations for model Stirling engines> 1. Friction is the enemy and must be kept to an absolute minimum. 2. The engine must be...
As this is my first post. I would like to say thanks for the insperations that I have taken from this list. I would like to request plans (scaled and parts...
