Book Subtitle | Designing And Building Experimental Model Stirling Engines |
Book Description | Hot air engines, often called Stirling engines, are among the most interesting and intriguing engines ever to be designed. They run on just about any fuel, from salad oil and hydrogen to solar and geothermal energy. They produce a rotary motion that can be used to power anything, from boats and buggies to fridges and fans. This book demonstrates how to design, build, and optimise Stirling engines. A broad selection of Roy's engines is described, giving a valuable insight into the many different types and a great deal of information relating to the home manufacture of these engines is included in the workshop section. |
About the Author | We have written this book with the model engineer in mind. We have not forgotten that you dont have to ba amodel engineer to read and benefit from the information we have provided. We have tried to show the variety of engines that Roy has designed and built over the year. We have also focussed on the techniques and workshop practices, that have lead to the professionalism that goes into making one of Roy's engines. We hope that you will gain as much enjoyment from reading the book as we have had in writing it.Roy & Keith |
