Stirling Engine - Caltech ME72 2005

great!

So what is it's shaft power verses RPM?

Almost trivial to measure/show by having engine drive a pully that lifts a known mass a measured distance in a given time

Look at the relative motion of the cranks, and the pistons. Looks like it could be a beta or gamma type Sterling with the displacer piston hidden bellow and driven by the 2nd shaft

the guy who said "Power band man" sounds like tom green

Pls use high comprees air to replace hot air.... and you will get new engine.... try it..

You sure it's a Stirling? L think it's a steam engine.

The other side of the disc is what role??

awesome project

[Tomciolegal1]

install in the car

[aurora2k]

LOLOL i doubt that the car will ever move

but i thought that too

[SWINGREGORY]

great

[1crazyfocker]

nice job i like how it has more then one piston running on the one displacer does that help at all with the power at all

you just have too much initial friction, your mechanics are a mismatch with the displacement,,, you caltech guys should be able to figure that out,,, ernest.

For our ME 71 final project, we're trying to make an alpha type Stirling engine, and the thing isn't working. We seem to get too much compression with a 90 degree phase shift, and the engine does not recover from the negative cycle. We're using a copper sponge as our regenerator, so we're not sure how effective it is. Do you guys have any advice for us?

不错

any chance of you releasing the plans for this ? really interested

[SteScott1974]

that looks mean :)

[arabjoyroad313]

i dont know what it is but i really want to buy it for any price!!

Yeah, your right now that I think about it, the contest day was Dec 1 2005; title changed to reflect that.

ME72 was fall 2005. There was no ME72 in 2006, except the first part of ME72a which had its competition in March 2007.
