Re: Tesla's Ambient Heat Engine revisted
Kindly take your friend "fool" and get lost. Tom, please don't despair. Stroller appears to be a kind and knowledgeable experienced person whom I don't know or collaborate with. I'm sure that we could have a great time talking shop. I'm having fun talking shop with you. You may think I'm ...

Re: The TRUTH? η = 1 – (Qc / Qh) = 1 – (Tc / Th)
I know you've seen the following two video links before. When you make engines as capable as these, or better, using your theories, people will be more willing to listen. Until then you will get a lot of opposition. Be very kind to those that stop to listen, and even kinder to those that enter into ...

Re: Tesla's Ambient Heat Engine revisted
That is possible. They would have a fairly long distance to travel through the cold space. They Appear to be only a few degrees warmer.

Re: Tesla's Ambient Heat Engine revisted
VincentG, the power piston is on the cold, plate and side. There shouldn't be any hot gas there. Right? The main things increasing the gas temperature there would be compression from the reverse stroke, and heat from friction, and atmosphere, if warmer maybe.

Re: Tesla's Ambient Heat Engine revisted
Your power piston cylinder appears at a higher temperature than the top of the cold plate. I can only guess why from the information recorded. Work is certainly a factor to consider. What it read before running wasn't given to me. I would expect the top of the cold plate to not be changing temperatu...

Re: Compression cycle.. worthwhile?
"Ah..., that doesn't apply to Stirling engines", I've been told again and again. If not, why not. The energy represented on a PV diagram depends on path, and the direction traveled on the path. The initial difference between a Stirling Engine and a Stirling cooler is the direction taken o...

Re: Regenerators.... Have I got it straight what they do?
Matt ran into the problem, in one of his schemes, that the temperature of the regenerator was significantly higher than the regenerator so was ineffective in that adiabatic temperature range of the cold plate. Conversely it didn't get high enough either, for the hot plate. Changed his theoretical ef...

Re: Tesla's Ambient Heat Engine revisted
hopefully others will verify the results with their own independent research. I'm not looking for a "following". Following your experiments to verify them, is different from a following. But you knew that anyway, and thought the statement sounded cool, misleading, but cool. What I'm still...

Try not to tell people about me, you obviously know nothing about me. Your ignorance appears to be fostering your arrogance.

Re: The TRUTH? η = 1 – (Qc / Qh) = 1 – (Tc / Th)
The only thing more ignorant than "Get what?". Is thinking there is a god.
Try to stay out of the fantasies. Even Charles Schultz gets it. Feynman was talking about how the ability to find errors in science books makes a student smarter, and complaining about them, even fixing them, not.

No I'm not a "good student". Sorry to disappoint I think the quote is "smart students". I can tell. Smart students learn how to identify errors in teaching, learning, and experimenting. The rest, who cares. They won't be doing much productive anyway. Why would your not getting i...

Re: Tesla's Ambient Heat Engine revisted
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P11q-BAhvqk You claim the engine was running for three hours, but it is clearly removed from the heat seconds before all measurements are made. Placed on a "cold" ambient table cooling it enough that even when placed back on the water cup, with mist coming off...

Re: The TRUTH? η = 1 – (Qc / Qh) = 1 – (Tc / Th)
Adiabatic.svg.png Top left of adiabatic is point 2. Isentropic expansion follows down thick green line, and does positive work equal to the shaded green area under the curve. Compression returns along the same line back to point 2. Requires work input equal to the shaded green area under the thick ...

Re: Tesla's Ambient Heat Engine revisted
No. It's just modeling a wall, and given surface temperatures. The constant temperatures outside are standard heat source and sink models. That is similar to all the high and low constant temperature.sources used to model engines. As Feynman said, "TSOWGI". It's supposed to show how heat f...
