There have been ideas posted here in the past about Stirling's using reed type valves but I have yet to see anything that functions. It would seem that a flexible rubber reed valve would do little in the way of air flow restriction and should improve efficiency in the right design, there must be so...

Since a few years, I have been 'inventing' new types of hot air machines. Recently I came to a design that seemed to have interesting properties, and I thought I had made a complete new invention. ...Until I found a 90 year old (1919) patent of Elliott J. Stoddard, who had patented almost exactly th...

I have a question about scaling up Stirling engines. I think there's no reason why a Stirling engine cannot be scaled up, but I'm not completely sure. Imagine a very large gamma machine, f.i. 10 metres in diameter. Would it work completely the same as a coffee cup machine? In the youTube video, a fl...

Litteral translation: On his model, the inventor shows us the heart of his 'sun machine': The Stirling Engine. You can also say 'hot air motor'. Eckhart Weber has of course no sun in his working place, but a torch or a small flame work as well. Stirling engines can also immediately transform solar e...
