uh hello all the radiation produced by the power plant is absorbed by the concrete shell that surrounds it duh, plus jettisoning the waste into space is a viable alternative as well can you do that with all the co2 created by fossil fuel poqer plants?

Radioactive moron? They're able to recycle rods now. Rods are tiny also, we have a 40 billion dollar facility to place them in. It's a much better concept then pumping shitloads of nasty fumes into the sky you twat.

By: pantadon. on 02 Jun 08, 09:27:13
Poster said "If true, we may be able to kiss nuclear power plants good bye." in description. What?? Nuclear power is GREAT, the newest plant we have operational at the moment is from the early 70's and it's virtually impossible to make melt down by any terrorist act or otherwise. Waste is nearly nothing and we have 50 billion dollar Yukka Mountain built for storing the rods. What we need to get rid of is oil and coal plants that throw crap into the air and which use non-renewable resources.

By: spurcross. on 30 Apr 08, 20:39:31
Sadly, it is far from commercially successful. "Major reliability problems with ...Stirling engine included [too numerous too mention]. That means that on average once every 40 hours a problem of some type required shut down and maintenance. Nearly continuous maintenance was necessary to keep the system "available" to generate electricity." From Barry Butler, a PhD expert in Stirling solar technology. google kdfullerblogspot and go to 4/17/08

By: desertblbuesman. on 08 Mar 08, 03:59:17
I think wind machines would block sun, but I thought of putting them around oil pumps down around Artisia NM. Roads are there allready, and so is a wire to each pump. I think PV is allready the winner as far as ecomomy though.

By: 441rider. on 09 Feb 08, 03:32:14
You can buy office toys as well but my motors will be the first high heat motors available for kits or assembled eventually. Production of parts of good quality is tough and that is why you do not see as many for sale. These in video could cost into the hurdreds of thousands each.

By: spurcross. on 03 Feb 08, 17:15:15
"it's just a matter of materials and engineering to remedy this" I could say the same thing about desktop fusion. I am looking for a single example of any commercially successful, sustained application of Stirling engine power. I can't find it. The world is full of museum pieces that sit and spin. Why, after 200 years, is there no real-life examples of a man taking one of these and doing real work with it? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for any forms of alt. energy that we can benefit from.

By: hyperkinetic. on 04 Dec 07, 21:33:54
I'm not sure where you're getting your misinformation, but you may want to avoid that source in the future. This device is still under joint development between SES, Sandia National Labs, and Boeing. They're only in phase two and have already achieved >400 hours MTBF. While still not great, it's just a matter of materials and engineering to remedy this.

By: XT101. on 08 Jan 08, 23:37:49
its not that it runs on cold, it runs on any tempreture differential, as long as either side is hotter than the other, it will run, so when its sitting on ice, it is running backwards, using the heat from on top, rather than through the bottom. heat is a form of energy, cold is the absence, and heat will travel to the absence till it finds a balence.

By: trader0108. on 15 Oct 08, 18:22:37
Here is a way that a residential house could effectively store solar energy during the five hours of good sunshine, to last for the full twenty-four hours. Use a hydraulic elevator system lifting a very heavy weight, where the energy is stored by the gravity of the weight. When the sun goes down,or when more power is needed during the five hours of good sunshine, the very heavy weight movement is reversed and the hydraulics is used to generate power.

A google search of "elevator return energy", found that modern elevator systems in tall buildings do have special drive mechanisms that generates return energy when the elevator is going down. Thus, the complete needed technology for storing residential solar energy in a special heavy-concrete-weighted solar energy storage elevator is already available. The "overall energy" use for tall building elevators is very small ( just the cost of resistance and inefficiency ). No explosive hydrogen.

By: cinema4Dguy. on 11 May 08, 15:12:32
re: running a stirling along the normal engine: i guess it's just cheaper not to do it - who'd be willing to pay an impressive premium to put another machine (with its own need for cooling) into a car, adding weight = extra fuel consumption for a marginal gain in efficiency? Stirlings are great for nonstop operation, like generators or coupled to heating systems. There ARE commercially available ones the size of a big PC that give off 700 W electric and 5 kW heat, for sailing boats. Kinda pricey

By: wind4watts. on 21 Nov 08, 08:14:59
Two large Stirling engines were used to power an early military French submarine 2x 75 kw models were used, as was a ship (Swedish i believe)200 bhp output. Fascinating machines, no Monoxide emissions either!.

By: GREENPOWERSCIENCE. on 18 Nov 08, 01:23:43
Just air. A video going around on Youtube that starts with "Hey Roy", same engine in my other video with a parabolic dish, incorrectly states "Hydrogen is the working gas". All small engines use regular air because filling them with any gas, it would be gone in a few cycles. They are sealed, but not perfectly. My video watch?v=vCleMqdGqug This one has regular air too.

By: LastReplaySC. on 13 Nov 08, 13:38:58
your wrong there, sterling powered by dishes has become an industry here in middle Europe even. They can power a house and feed excess energy into the grid for cash. they use a better cooling system and track the sun fully automatic. they are priced at around 25 K euros and pay off within 8 years

By: nick1f. on 03 Nov 08, 10:16:16
Great idea with the Fresnel lens. It is very large, very thin and cheap, compared to a classic glass lens. If you would have some black aluminium where the sun rays hit and a thermal insulator in between the hot side and cold side, I think the efficiency could improve.

By: Libertasfalsus. on 08 Oct 08, 02:44:09
Hmm, I wonder how many milliwatts of power that could push. Imagine the energy that could be harnessed from hot pavement or a roof in summer. Air conditioning could be so cheap...the hotter the sun, the better your compressor would run (if powered by a stirling type engine). Maybe there is no such thing as "free" energy, but then again, I've yet to get a bill for sunlight, but I do pay dearly in summer to fight it. Why not join forces with it instead? ;-)

By: ChrisJMoor. on 28 Aug 07, 17:18:55
Replace the piston with a diaphragm, lose the leaf spring, add a regenerator, encase the whole thing in a sealed casing filled with an efficient, pressurised working fluid. Bingo, a frictionless (no rubbing bearings) Sterling generator that is maintenance free and could run continuously for years.

A free piston ...
By: SimplyAtheist. on 16 Jul 07, 08:04:37
A free piston Stirling engine is actually more efficient then one's with crankshafts,... and just for that reason,... much less friction. In a free piston the magnets would pass a set of coils, just like the L.E.D. flashlights that you shake. Same idea.

Yes. Actually, there ARE Stirling engines working in space already. There they can be highly effective, because temperature differences can be extreme.

A so called 'free piston' Stirling engine can produce electricity for many many years in a very effective way: The piston is a magnet and moves through a coil: The most basic way to produce A.C.

By: geoffart. on 30 Jul 08, 10:48:07
I did think that internal combustion could provide many more times the power than stirling. Internal combustion and external combustion (steam), rely on latent heat (that goes directly into changing the state of the working medium). However, stirling simply relies on pressure, volume and temp relationships - its a slower process, but more efficent potentially. The way to go would be use stirling to extract energy from primary source to be used later in electric motor (battery or fuel cell)

i mixed up 'power' and 'efficiency' in my comment. i meant that reduced power is a problem only from a perspective.... internal combustion may provide 20% or 30% more power.. and yet, what are the problems associated with it? i see them every day on the news... i feel them in my lungs, i see them in the oily water in the parking lot, i smell them in the air... in the future man will look back on us with the same quaint bemusement & horror that we look back on whale oil or gas lamps.

By: ycats1000. on 19 Oct 08, 10:09:03
laminar flow ones are simple, people tend to over complicate things with weird mechanical linkages to suit alternators but you can get linear alternators, that way you may only need a few magnets on the shaft... lets you use the high speed as asset and not force the engine into trying to create torque which it cant handle-

By: GREENPOWERSCIENCE. on 07 Feb 08, 15:28:01
Agreed on solar. I got a 9 watt panel with no load voltage reading 21v to jump up to 33v with a Fresnel lens. I placed a plastic bag filled with water on the backside to absorb the heat. Also.... Mirror arrays work better with less heat. New high temp panels work better. Because solar cells have very thin wire, a little heat increases resistance and limits the flow. If you can take cells, apply a heat sink to each, and apply better connectors, you can handle more heat. WOULD be cheaper to just..

Lol, since when do solar panels keep working when shaded? "Unlike solar panels, stirling engines... stop when obscured by clouds" Also, 25kW for $150,000??? I can do the same with three 10kW generators for under $20,000 (yes, plus fuel... $130,000 worth). And that's before you start adding onto it to collect it's by-products (heat, for example). Thinking things through, you can make an ICE over 80% efficient, why mess with something so massive and expensive? Price Souce: Honda Power Equipment.

By: RyuDarragh. on 07 Nov 08, 19:58:55
I stand by the "can't be used" statement. Nothing static can be used to generate energy. Even a simple battery uses chemical reactions (note the "action" part of that word). If you could create moving gravity fields or gravity waves, you could *transfer* or *transform* energy from the prime mover to some other form, like electricity, but fields, like magnetic ones, by themselves, can't do work. They're the "piston rods", if you will, of any system and, like those rods, aren't too useful alone.

By: 13ricky. on 04 Nov 08, 17:30:30
Yes granted, but hydro-electricity generation is mainly down to water pressure which is caused by the weight of water is ultimately, yes, caused by gravity. I dont like the way you said "It cant be used" you missed out the word "yet", it cant yet be used - all we need is a person who has the foresight to think out side the box

By: RyuDarragh. on 03 Nov 08, 00:01:54
We tap gravity in a way already. The system uses solar energy to recharge and gravity is used to convert the potential energy stored into kinetic energy we can use. It's called Hydroelectric power. Gravity, like a magnetic field, can't be used to generate power unless the field is varied. Just like a magnetic field, it requires energy input to be transformed into a form we can use. The same way rotation moves a magnetic rotor in a coil of wire to generate electricity.

By: RyuDarragh. on 20 Oct 08, 00:04:27
Not sure if you're off a decimal there, but use of solar, wind and tide in places and scales that make *sense* are Ok. I support those. But, nuclear fission and fusion *have* to be part of the equation or it all falls apart later, rather than sooner and is *still* short term thinking. Even solar sat technology might be viable, as well as moving some of the nastier production off earth altogether. While most folks think their own lifetimes count, I feel the longer term needs to be looked at, too.

By: RyuDarragh. on 19 Oct 08, 11:49:56
That's the problem, ycats1000. Although solar could supply a portion of our power needs, as could wind, increased hydroelectric, etc.. they forget one critical problem. The reason solar/wind/etc has become neccessary. Failing supplies of fossil fuels and increased carbon load. About 1TW is non carbon electric, but nearly 3TW is provided by fossil fuels for all other power consumption (about 1TW is fossil fueled electric). All 4TW would need to be non-carbon.. you'd need 8000 such plants.

By: RyuDarragh. on 24 Sep 08, 00:24:18
Stirling engines can be made to work in the range of powers used for home power and vehicle power, progmaster, but they suffer from scaling. At the size needed to power my electric heater and dryer and other electrical gadgets a typical home has, you'd need 3.8 acres of land for the solar collector. That being said, like hydroelectric power, thermodynamic power in volcanic regions is a perfect use for sich technology. And small loads, like street lighting, sensors, etc..
