  • Sounds like yet another perpetuum mobile...

  • I've already run this idea by a few forums Stirling motor enthusiasts go to, so hopefully, others are already experimenting with this.

  • This would be very easy to test on a single cylinder Sterling heat motor. Just tap a mist valve into heat chamber. Heat the chamber, inject a very small amount of water, & see if the motor increases speed, which it will. A Fresnel lens can be used to heat chamber. Would run on water & sunlight.

  • Right on the money. You're heating ONLY the amount of water needed in the moment to run the turbine. That's a lot less than heating an entire boiler.

    Control pressure by timing the rate of injection. Monitor pressure to determine rate of injection.

  • when you condense water at 1200 PSI the recycle temps goes way the heck up , preheat the "condensed water " on the exterior of the engine. Any liquid that goes form high pressure to low pressure will turn to vapor regardless of tempature

  • It all sound good, but a few errors are listed below.

    1. The first law of thermodynamics: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms. There is no free lunch, for every unit of power out of a system, there must be an equivalent unit put into it.

    2. While you say that the only difference between water and steam is 2-degrees (wrong), a huge amount of energy is required to convert water to steam (heat of vaporization).

    3. Steam is always recycled.

  • You can't run this loop indefinitely without an outside power source resupplying total energy wasted or used. The work, friction and heat transfered outside the system will degrade the loop, requiring more propane, oil or candles. As soon as energy in the system is drained off for moving a car, another external resupply equal to that drain has to be supplied or the loop dies down. There is no "free energy" in this device.

  • You can not get more energy out than you put in. You might as well use whatever you are using to heat the coil to do the work directly.

  • Finally, someone cares about this planet. Please please anyone that can build this please do and show the world we don't need fossil fuel ANYMORE!!! Put OPEC out of business!! Way to go Medicine Man!!
