  2. Stirling engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine

    These inherent design conflicts are one of many factors that limit the efficiency of practical Stirling engines. A typical design is a stack of fine metal wire meshes, with low porosity to reduce dead space, and with the wire axes perpendicular to the gas flow to reduce conduction in that direction and to maximize convective heat transfer.

  3. Rhombic drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_drive

    It was originally developed around 1900 for the twin-cylinder Lanchester car engine where it allowed perfect balancing of the inertial forces on both pistons. A current example of its use is on beta type-Stirling engines; the drive's complexity and tight tolerances, causing a high cost of manufacture, is a hurdle for the widespread usage of this drive.

  4. Applications of the Stirling engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_the...

    A Stirling engine eliminates the need for water anywhere in the cycle. This would have advantages for nuclear installations in dry regions. United States government labs have developed a modern Stirling engine design known as the Stirling radioisotope generator for use in space exploration. It is designed to generate electricity for deep space ...

    The engine has near isothermal cylinders because 1) the heater area covers the entire cylinder end, 2) it is a short stroke device, with wide shallow cylinders, yielding a high surface area to volume ratio, 3) the average thickness of the gas space is about 0.1 cm, and 4) the working fluid is Helium, a gas having good thermal properties for Stirling engines.

    He is the maker of small Stirling Engines, "flame eater", steam engines and other types of small practical heat engines. Ridders gives free plans for building his motors and offers advice with his experience in various places on the web. After years of stagnation, once shown working models and the simplicity of the design, companies began to ...

  8. Fluidyne engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidyne_engine

    A concentric-cylinder Fluidyne pumping engine. Topologically equivalent to a U-tube design. A Fluidyne engine is an alpha or gamma type Stirling engine with one or more liquid pistons. It contains a working gas (often air), and either two liquid pistons or one liquid piston and a displacer. [1] The engine was invented in 1969. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNR_Stirling_4-2-2

    Stirling therefore used outside cylinders, with a four-wheeled bogie for lateral stability at the front end. According to Hamilton Ellis's description, entitled 'Pat Stirling's masterpiece,' the design was a version of a 2-2-2 built by Stirling for the Glasgow and South Western Railway, "considerably enlarged, and provided with a leading bogie ...
