Yes, that's true. Would probably be good to have a regenerator mesh lining the heat chamber too.

The site has links to better ones. One example isn't much to base an opinion on, though Of course I can't say yet if this version will be better than those.

In my research on pulse jets, it was shown that when an expanding hot gas is suddenly released from a chamber, the inertia of the gas can cause it to create a vacuum in the chamber which then sucks in cold air from outside right back through the opening the hot gas just escaped from. It might be wor...

This first image is apparently a variation on the manson engine. https://i.imgur.com/eC7rrvr.jpg It seems pretty clever because traveling through the long heating tube gives the air plenty of time to heat up, so the tube only needs to be just above the working temperature of the air. That means it d...

Hi everybody. I love gadgets and mechanical stuff in general. It's the problem solving and clever solutions that really get me going. Been reading through various posts on here to educate myself. Stirlings in general are pretty neat and once I've read through some more posts I'll start tossing out s...
