stirling engine

[mohammad3947]

Hi

I want to know about Stirling engines. Is it possible to find a good book or journal to work on it.
also I want to design ( conceptually ) using stirling engine for producing electricity in new modern way. can anybody offer me?

thanks

Hi,

If you want the theory then be prepared to wrestle with a lot maths equations and laws of thermodynamics, just google for it and be surprised.
Building one is more fun and I suggest you do that.

Hi Mohammed.

I've built a small demo stirling engine, all the proof I need that they require a great deal of precision to even run, much less produce usable electricity. But, I'm in love with possibilities. The stirling-Steele 4-cyl engine seems to offer possibilities. If you're interested in building one, so am I. We could compare notes.

thanks A.G for useful link and information.
I am electrical engineer and I am going to design new source of heat and cold to build green electricity from stirling engine. I need to know the rules and cycle to compare this with petrol and diesel engines.

thanks
