Re: new concept of Stirling engine

Hello, I have an industrialist who is willing to finance a prototype of the Stirling engine with my concept. I would like to have an idea of the price of manufacturing a Stirling engine. I am thinking of making pistons with diameters of about 2 to 3 cm and using self-lubricating rings for the piston...

Re: Why are you interested in Stirling engines? (Or why are you here?)

The reason I was interested in the Stirling engine was that I installed 30 square meters of solar thermal panels on the roof of my house. In summer, I cannot use this solar energy source, I do not have for example a swimming pool. I looked at the Stirling engine to produce electricity from this sola...

Re: new concept of Stirling engine

it is not only the exchanger that is an evolution. In order to present the interest of the Stirling engine type, I describe the current versions and the new version There are mainly 3 types of Stirling engine (α, β, ɣ) Theoretical schematic of these engines theoAlpha.jpg In practice, Stirling engine...

Re: new concept of Stirling engine

For now, I'm going to model an exchanger like Tom drew in the post above. With 3d printers, we can make complex shapes.

Re: new concept of Stirling engine

As soon as I find time, I will do a numerical modeling of the exchanger with openfoam. Now with 3d printers, we can make complex shapes with conductive materials.

Re: new concept of Stirling engine

What seems difficult to me, for a heat exchanger you need an extremely large exchange surface to have an efficient exchanger. But it is not necessary to create an exchanger with large internal volumes. I think it is possible to design the exchanger with cavities as proposed by Tom. I am in contact w...

Re: new concept of Stirling engine

I agree. It takes a lot of surface area to get a good exchanger. What is interesting about the Tesla diode is that in one direction of fluid flow there is no pressure drop and on the contrary there is a pressure drop in the opposite direction. Tom Booth's version of the Tesla diode is an excellent i...

Re: new concept of Stirling engine

your animation is very realistic. I recognize it. Moreover, your animation is nice. My animation does not take into account the heat recovery during the cooling operation. I wanted to make an animation so that everyone can watch it and interpret it easily.

Re: new concept of Stirling engine

Effectively I think that a patent would have been possible on toroidal design.
If I write something about this process I will quote you.

Re: new concept of Stirling engine

Hello to all on my site www.cyberquebec.ca/normandajc/ I made a small modification I have added this film that presents the Stirling cycle https://dracoon.team/public/download-shares/zldwQmuW6vA8CBQwkHRl0zVUDZ0Cialj Regarding the Tesla diode, does anyone know if it is free to use? I found the Tesla ...
