Re: Stirling water pump for electricity

I belive this model could be turned into an linear alternator, of course using other kinds of materials.

Although the efficiency would be lower, the overall cost would be diminished.

Re: Stirling water pump for electricity

Of course I want to use the water side just for the cooling, the power will come from the piston. I want to pressurise the sistem at a few bar and drive the water through a radiator which could heat a nearby room. I want my engine to be versatile, I plan on building more engines if everithing works ...

Re: Stirling water pump for electricity

The fact is that I like the cooling provided by the water.
I want to produce 10-20W and the heat will come from a wood stove. The water should easily take the heat away.

Stirling water pump for electricity

Hello!
I plan to build such an engine, just a little more powerful.
The problem is I do not have any plans, I need all dimensions.
