Well i was thinking about having the stirling engine run at a constant speed, and charge a supercapacitor, or battery or something, it wouldn't jog to different speeds like a regular gasoline engine, just produce power and charge batteries when necessary.Someone once told me a friend of theirs found a fan powered by a stirling engine in a junkyard, and that it was powered by a small burner on the bottom, and that it was powerful. Don't they use stirling engines as heat pumps for cabin refrigerators in the woods or something? I forgot where, but i heard that somewhere. http://ideas.4brad.com/archives/000094.html?page=1 I am not the first to think of that hybrid-stirling car either. What you also have to look into is the lack of need for much maintanence. They don't need as much lubricants as an IC engine. The only thing i can think of is having the sealed gas on the inside leak out through the piston. That can be corected by making a sealed box with the generator and engine within, and only allow electrical contacts through the box. The box would have the heater on the inside, and the cooling fins on the outside. |
