Striling Engine (manufacturing project) ideas welcome

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a design project focused on creating a small Stirling engine for machining and auctioning. Participants are encouraged to suggest useful or entertaining add-ons that the engine could power. There is a concern about individuals profiting from the group's ideas without compensation, leading to a proposal for a profit-sharing contract for any advice given. The group is seeking creative input and practical tips to enhance their project. Engaging with the community could lead to innovative solutions for their Stirling engine design.

hey guys,

We have a design project where we are supposed to design something cool to machine and later auction it off. My group has already come up with a plan to build a small stirling engine. I've been thinking if there could be anything we can add on to it, like a useful/fun addon... anything we can have it power?

Thanks

And any extra tips or ideas would be great.

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
