Description

Discover the fascinating world of hot air engines with this comprehensive guide. Stirling engines are unique because they can run on almost any fuel source, including solar, geothermal, hydrogen, and even salad oil. This book provides a deep look into how these engines work and how they produce the rotary motion needed to power devices like fans, fridges, boats, and buggies. Written to help enthusiasts and makers, this resource demonstrates how to design, build, and optimize your own experimental model Stirling engines. You will gain valuable insight through a broad selection of Roy's engines, which are described in detail to show the many different types available. Whether you are interested in the mechanics of engineering or the hands-on process of home manufacture, this book provides the information needed to explore these intriguing machines.
