How did you find PF?

AI Search, I think it may have been Claude or DuckAI. I was looking for a place that could look at a new concept that I had been tweaking for decades.

I've been a retired art instructor/college dean for over 25 years. I don't see too well (AMD). Today's a good day, I can think a little more clearly. I've been designing Rankine engines for about 20 years and have one patent for a two-moving part, simplified Tesla 1894 steam engine patent. For the past decade I've been working on a one-moving-part Rankine design that may compete for efficiency with a Stirling. I guess I am waving my hands since I don't have a math or engineering background. I was hoping someone could look at my sketches and give me a thumbs up or down on the project. I can drop a .PDF if anyone wants to see it. Thanks for reading this.

Welcome to PF.

We can't really help with reviewing new work; that's not what PF is for. I'd suggest that you contact an Engineering or Physics professor at your old school or a nearby university to see if they would be willing to review your work on a consulting basis.
