As the forum lacks a dedicated Mason engine thread, may as well get one going. Some designs have two openings this one only one. https://i.ibb.co/28dZYzQ/Untitled.jpg https://i.ibb.co/tppZ3bj/Untitled.jpg Test and assembly of a model https://youtu.be/Ala-SnftXqs Another basic nice setup better witho...

Ross yoke linkage machines operate on 120° thermodynamic angle instead of the conventional 90° No matter what all require at least 35° Fahrenheit (1.67°C) temperature difference to operate. This engine has 3 spoke flywheel 1 is displacer bottom dead, 2 is working bottom dead, 3 both fully retracted ...

^^^^ The reason for the double displacer to have a smooth running engine. Some google translation Disadvantage of a motor with oscillating displacer movement: Mass must be accelerated and braked. Disadvantage of a motor with rotary displacement: The working gas is talented in the housing rather than...

Completely weight balanced Stirling engine with double displacement and how it came about.

Great post and in my opinion engines strokes are waaay to long. The less "pumping in", more efficient, bigger cylinder and not a single focused heat spot. World is obsessed with flywheels and rotation but pendulums are way more efficient. Veljko Milkovic world of Two-Stage Mechanical Oscil...

Replica build and castings https://myfordboy.blogspot.com/p/the-essex-hot-air-engine.html Some models had a fan to cool the cold end of the cylinder driven from the engine flywheel, others had a water tank at the cold end. https://i.ibb.co/ckFDMjb/temp-2.png https://i.ibb.co/MDYYQ4R/temp-2.png Anoth...

Fresnel lenses can melt glass, steel and rocks, no candle flame will produce that kind of temperature.

What is stopping Stirling engines from becoming widely used in the Geothermal field.

What is stopping Stirling engines from becoming widely used.
Nothing is stopping it, if build right they are very efficent. All whats needed is a commercial product at the right price.

^^^^I have to see if i find it again but something like it was archived only with air with a air powered car engine. Anyway, the whole thing in reverse . Free piston Stirling coolers arguably some of the best, (with matching price tag). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSJFPb8030g Operating, it might...

I was thinking primarily in terms of transportation. Could such a water based pressure system be practical for a motor vehicle? No, modern air powered cars heat the air in engine or before entering to increase range/efficiency, more or less a hybrid system. The air is stored in 250 bar (3600 psi) t...

Heat waste can be overcome with water, commercial solution: https://youtu.be/sBF5EnK9MPs Air powered tools last longer are cheaper and have more torque than electric counterparts. Air powered workshop: https://youtu.be/Oc0b4aBOyBw Modern air motors are way more efficent the old piston driven variant...

High pressure air power is the future. No need for unnatural lethal AC power at all. Anything in a homestead with a motor can run of airline or tank. No need for conversions and expensive electronic. 800 watt motor almost perfect match for 1kw free piston engine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeSNE...
