I’m thinking of burning hydrocarbons like a catalytic converter using platinum wire as the internal heat exchanger which would make it an internal combustion engine

I think platinum burns any hydrocarbon wouldn’t have to be hydrogen but at maybe a higher temp

I was thinking fine platinum wire to burn hydrogen inside the engine

For sure! It seems to open a hole new window for cheap easy build compact engines that you can actually use have you seen my Thermoacoustic generator?

Dear Sadi
So your saying that the alpha is the real stirling engine And every other derivative is LTD (Low temperature difference)

I’m keen

Merry Christmas

Cheers

Ltd stands for low temperature displacement which describes a type of stirling engine I don’t think that my engine would fit that category or does it? please explain!

Underload this maybe different

And it does seem to harness the resonance hens the high speed

It is basically just my thermoacoustic engine with a cranks crankshaft chucked on top

Cheers I might have been slowly coming to that conclusion but are you sure you would not call this a hybrid of some sort as other enthusiasts seem to think so I Honestly am not sure

Hello everybody the sealant on the bottom is gasket cement it insulates the inside can and isolates the heat my next one has a 22cm diameter hot interface and also making a double action version stay tuned
