Hello, Is there a difference between Stirling engine types (Alpha, Beta or Gamma) and the noise they produce? I am doing some literature study and it is not really clear to me. I personally think that the Beta type will make less noise because it only has one cylinder. Thanks in advance and with bes...

I am making several changes: - Temperature should be set as Kelvin. However, DegC and DegF are also displayed. - The default design parameters are also added. An can be bypassed using checkboxes. - A iterator is added. This gives the possibility to change variables e.g. average pressure from the cur...

Hello tom-rock,

What is you source for the rhombic drive calculations?

I've started a topic on this subject and maybe you can Help me out?

Hello Ian, I think I need to rephrase my question.I was referring to the calculations of the rhombic drive itself. I found a nice article that describes how a rhombic drive works and how to calculate certain values: Article . Rhombic drive overview.png Rhombic drive - Base parameters.png What calcul...

Here is the first version!
Let me know what you think about it.

Regards.

At what price? Welke prijs?

Hello, thanks for the great input! I've made progress on the Beta stirling engine simulator/designer: http://stirlingengineforum.com/download/file.php?mode=view&id=458 http://stirlingengineforum.com/download/file.php?mode=view&id=457 http://stirlingengineforum.com/download/file.php?mode=view...

Hello,

I want to design a rhombic drive for my beta sterling engine.

I've did a lot of research however am not able to find a clear approach on how to do the calculations.

Anyone who can help me?

With best regards,

JR

Hello, I am going to build a beta stirling engine. Prior to building it I am making a Simulator program in C# based on the Schmidt cycle ( Schmidt theory ). Mainly to learn Stirling theory and to gain more programming experience. On the following page I found some design criteria: http://www.stirlin...
