Stirling engine concept

[clytle374]

Did anyone else notice there was no price mentioned?  Someone should fgind out how much and post it here.  Shall I?  If we all ask the price might go up, If it was mine I wouldn't be selling it cheap.

The 5hp is pretty neat and I guess the conditions were primitive.  Still a lot of man hours and equipment needed.

I really wanted to put a ID spline or fins on my displacer cylinder but no good way to do it.  I guess I could hobb it out in a year or two

I sent him an email yesterday asking for a price, I'll post it here once he replies

[I wonder if Atul Patel would be interested in building a Stirling engine.......

Realy.....
I couldn't even convince him to use Metric nuts and bolts and you thing you can get him to build stirling engines lol

Nope. Unable to get a reply, guess I'll have to try some other way

  Saw this over on the yahoo list. Pretty neat, a sterling cycle oscillator (linear only, nothing rotates so it's not very sexy )that generates 1kw while heating your house.

I saw this thread and got really interested in the stirling concept. I have acquired a 90 degree v air compressor and am in the process of converting it to solar. I plan to use R134A as the working gas, 65 psi @ room temp and 400 psi @ 200 degrees. The Alpha configuration is simple to convert. I'm machining a new style of heat exchanger for it, one that'll give me  48" of heat exchanger in a package 3" long. which will be a serpentine layout. We'll see how well it works. In any case, its an interesting  learning experience.
