Re: Thermodynamics
Thank you for pointing me on that paper, the answer is right on page 74 and as I understand it correctly it is a clever way of actively reducing dead air space, because both pistons occupy the same room at a given time in the cycle, space that would otherwise have to be filled with part of the worki...

Thermodynamics
Hi all, I was trying to figure out dimensions and relations of a beta type stirling design and noticed from drawings and animations that there always seems to be an overlap of displacer piston and working piston. I know there is no mechanical need for this, so the reason must be of a thermodynamic n...

Re: "Hi" We are new here!
hi all, My name is Leo and I deviated here from the steam-engine scene. Newby to stirling engines. Got interested because of the Rhombic Drive motion. The instant I first saw it, I knew I just needed to make one. To give that drive a bit of sense there will have to be an engine engineered around it....
