If this engine is still for sale i would be very interested in buying it ASAP

get in touch and give me some contact details

[ozykiss]

@33Johnkelly about $4000 see Stirling Tech USA

[szym86]

what kind of engine is that ? 4 pistons - double-acting ?

or maybe something else ? ?

[ozykiss]

@szym86 single piston air charged about 2L displacement

[rock3tcat]

Is that one of those Philips Stirling Engines?

[ozykiss]

@rock3tcat no around $4000 USD see

@sihanling That is nonsense! Unlike bio-fuels, fossil-fuels are buried and don't release co2 until we drill, refine, transport and then burn. This is why some greenie weenies have proposed burying dying trees and other phony carbon sequestering schemes. Why worry? Everyone knows if you give Al Gore or one of his climate exchanges your money? He will fix everything!

[sihanling]

@DrD0000M The same would apply to fossil fuels. Since oil is made from long dead plant and animal life. Oil has the suns energy in it just the same. The problem comes from releasing too much carbon that the ecosystem can't process in a timely manner.

[DrD0000M]

@DusteDdekay Wood or other bio-fuel is carbon neutral. The carbon dioxide released when burnt was originally removed during the plant's lifetime. No net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide.  The plant's carbon would be released when it rots anyways, so might as well burn it for energy. And bio-fuels technically are solar power.

wow 4000 for 5 hp and its that big

[ArmanErevancy]

Very nice !!! Thank you for video...

Is this betta type stirling?

And how many cc ?

[TahreyUK]

@ozykiss So if you could run it entirely off solar in the day and waste heat at night, working continuously, it would pay for itself vs an electric motor in a year? then deliver that much payback each following year? (or on a longer timescale according to duty cycle and how much fuel may be needed to "fill the gaps")

not bad...

[TahreyUK]

@coolaidkiller101 yeah, but you have to buy fuel for that, and it'll be broken down within a month if you run it continuously at max rpm...

[CmdrTobs]

@Positrack1 Producing energy as efficiently as possible where weight does not matter. Then there is the added benefit of it being able to run off any heat source available with little modification. That makes it a real micro-generation option rather than an just an auxiliary unit that has to run on heavily refined diesel or petrol.

[CmdrTobs]

@railrdr523 As you'be been told that's completely wrong.

[CmdrTobs]

@MrToradragon About that 5% 'practical' you knocked off. Home gas boilers can be bought at 99% effcient, so I personally think you're that's too high for any professional fire box design.

hmmmm, the sterling cycle can do much better than 30% in my academic (because I have never tried). If my (non hobby) sterling engine was only making 30% I would be disappointed . I would try increasing the heat gradient drastically.
