Revision as of 05:50, 5 September 2011
Alpha prototype under construction. See Open Stirling Engine blog for the current status of the first prototype of the 4 cylinder alpha configuration engine. This is a simplified version of the design as modeled in Google SketchUp
Current version of the prototype. Assembled version with piston rod guides. See blog for detailed status reports. Having problems with polyethylene bags developing leaks, so not running yet.
Overview
A Stirling engine is an efficient heat engine operating by cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas, the working fluid, at different temperature levels such that there is a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work
