Brief History • Created and patented by Robert Stirling (1790 -1878) • Invented stirling engine in 1816 which could not explode and produce more power. • First patented Sterling Engine called “Economizer” http: //members. jcom. home. ne. jp/kobysh/stirling/R.

What is a Stirling Engine • Device that converts heat energy to mechanical power by alternately compressing and expanding a fixed quantity of working fluid at different temperatures.

Environmental • Flexible with all sources of energy • Solar energy • Hydro energy http: //cdn. gijobs. com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/solar-energy. png

Pros • Heating source is external • The pressure in a sterling engine is very consistent • There is no required air source

Cons • Heating source is external • Gas is contained with in the engine • Current methods for cooling

The Stirling Cycle Process breakdown

The Stirling Cycle Materials used utopia. TC ___ η=1 TH

Types of Stirling Engines 1. Alpha Stirling Engine- contains two power pistons in separate cylinders, one "hot" piston and one "cold" piston. 2. Beta Stirling Engine- single power piston arranged within the same cylinder on the same shaft as a displacer piston. 3. Gamma Stirling Engine- power piston is mounted in a separate cylinder alongside the displacer piston cylinder. 1. 2. 3.

Types of Stirling Engines • Alpha • Beta • Gamma

Alpha Stirling Engine Contains two power pistons in separate cylinders, one "hot" piston and one "cold" piston.

Beta Stirling Engine Single power piston arranged within the same cylinder on the same shaft as a displacer piston.

Gamma Stirling Engine Power piston is mounted in a separate cylinder alongside the displacer piston cylinder, but is still connected to the same flywheel.

Components 1. Pink – Hot cylinder wall 2. Dark grey – Cold cylinder wall 3. Yellow – Coolant inlet and outlet pipes 4. Dark green – Thermal insulation separating the two cylinder ends 5. Light green – Displacer piston 6. Dark blue – Power piston 7. Light blue – Linkage crank and flywheels
