This one at least lasted 2–3 years but then was discontinued due to improper technical contrivances. Hot air engines is a story of trials and errors, and it took another 20 years before hot air engines could be used on an industrial scale. The first reliable hot air engines were built by Shaw, Roper, Ericsson. Several thousands of them were ...

The Manson engine is a hot air engine that was first described by A. D. Manson in the March 1952 issue of Newnes Practical Mechanics-Magazines. [1] Manson engines can be started in either direction (clockwise or anti-clockwise). [ 2 ]
Manson-Guise engine Manson-Guise Engine drawing, based on GB2554458A Manson guise animation. A Manson-Guise engine is a simplified, albeit less powerful version of a Manson engine. It is a type of hot air engine, converting a temperature difference into motion. There is a hot side and a cold side to the engine.
The US Rider-Ericsson Engine Company was the successor of the DeLamater Iron Works and the Rider Engine Company, having bought from both companies their extensive plants and entire stocks of engines and patterns, covering all styles of Rider and Ericsson hot air pumping engines brought out by both of the old companies since 1844, excepting the original Ericsson engine, the patterns of which ...
For several decades, Louis Heinrici had built hot air engines in twelve sizes from 26 to 190 mm piston diameter and in the power range from 1.5 W to 0.2 kW. The larger machines used liquid cooling while, in the smaller ones, air cooling was sufficient. The running speed under load was between 120 and 200 revolutions per minute.
Robert Stirling patented the first practical example of a closed-cycle hot air engine in 1816, and it was suggested by Fleeming Jenkin as early as 1884 that all such engines should therefore generically be called Stirling engines. This naming proposal found little favour, and the various types on the market continued to be known by the name of ...
In 1861 he invented a hot air engine [1] and filed several patents for a hot air engines. [19] He eventually succeeded in building engines ranging from 1 to 4 HP. In 1869 over 200 roper's air engines were in operation. Roper worked for the Springfield Armory during the Civil War. [20]
