Dean Kamen's Newest Invention: A Stirling Hybrid Scooter
- bdfh42 17y agoI love the quote "And since the engine doesn't release any unburned hydrocarbons, CO2 emissions are minimal" We really should start teaching science in schools.
- jacquesm 17y agoA Stirling engines emissions can be minimal because it does not use explosions to burn the fuel. The real killer app for Stirlings is in AC, solar powered Stirling driving a secondary Stirling engine in refrigeration mode (backwards). For transportation the efficiencies are good but not stellar, and maintenance (especially of the seals) has always been a real problem. Rollsocks anyone ?
