The goal of the project is to spark infrastructure independent energy solutions - the stirling engine is flexible enough to run off of any type of heat (gas, wood, solar, etc). Stirlings can be very efficient, but, on…
I don't know of anyone providing a working engine for $250 at this time - you can find desktop models that run off of coffee cups but don't do real work. The industrial models cost in the tens of thousands. Give the…
Correct - this is just the piece that turns heat into work. The rest electrical system and fire box / solar concentrator comes latter.
Your right, there would need to be a storage device in the system - this is just the first piece that coverts the heat to work - The temperature range we are designing to is about 420 degrees F hot to 100 degrees F…
Hi, thanks for the question - The fuel source intended for the Volo Engine is some type of biomass - for the biomass the plan is to use a gassifier to get the heat out of the biomass. Solar is a good possibility, but…
