Thank you for sharing your research results. As far as I know, making a Stirling
motor, especially the alpha type, is very difficult because, on the one hand, it has to
be tight, but on the other hand, the friction has to be as small as possible.
Is the 228 cc capacity the total capacity or just one of the cylinders?
Can the Stirling motor that is made rotate by itself at the start, or does it need
assistance at the start so that the Stirling motor can rotate?
In your opinion, what field will the Stirling motor be most suitable for in the future?
Thank you

Thank you for your questions,
Yes it is quite difficult to create the engine it self but we manage to do that just
barely because it does as you^re saying tight but not too tight. The capacity is from
the compression and expansion chamber combined, to rotate the it does need a
conditions that is Temperature in compression chamber is at 31.9 Celsius degrees
and Temperature in expansion chamber is at 482.2 Celsius degrees but does not
need assistance to rotate. In my opinion Stirling engine can be implemented with the
help of heat source from the sun or excess heat from manufacture so it can be as
clean engine as possible, and also we can assign with generator to create electricity.
In my research the experiments shows that the engine performance can reach 65.9
percent thermal efficiency. The efficiency is higher than efficiency gasoline engine and
diesel engine, it does exceeds my expectation.
1. Air is a compressible fluids that its volume can be as small as possible but have a
greater pressure or as large as possible to be expansive but with rather small
pressure.
2. Because stirling engine can use as many as heat source and also we can select the
renewable energy heat source like the sun, so it can be as clean engine as possible.
