    Stirling engine LTD (Low Temperature Differential) plate size / energy

    Nope I am seeing YouTubers post LTD Stirling's as large as 48 inches but no real math to back up design I think that a rough thermal surface that has massive surface area should be easy to find a simple calce to throw at it I would like a very large surface area under pressure to increase hp...

    Stirling engine LTD (Low Temperature Differential) plate size / energy

    i need a simple plate size calculation. the power piston size is dependent on the displacer size but if i add additional ripples to increase surface area will it increase the power piston displacement a given temp for engine is 70 degrees for cool side and 140 for warm side both will be using...

    Stirling engine LTD (Low Temperature Differential) plate size / energy

    i need a simple calculation of a stirling ltd surface area calculation per watt produced and would a very rough surface and very large surface area hinder heat flow if the distance to re generator is extreme /would folding the surface area of a flat plat ltr help increase the power of engine...

    Solar heat gain on a typical solar cell

    Lol you quoted 160,000 I was confused Lol

    Solar heat gain on a typical solar cell

    But it say 0 for the summer Is the system you are looking at just an air heater or thermal mass I use a tank of hot water when I am playing in the mud at work If I can offset the heat consumed by using a solar preheater then the system will pay for itself quickly My groundwater is 53 to 55...

    Solar heat gain on a typical solar cell

    I worked w a drilling company who made a water well for heating Turns out that if you take 50 degree water and run it thru a heat pump It is a cheap easy way to heat large spaces if there is a large deep body of water to draw on I considered running a 1 inch pipe down my well to do the same...

    Solar heat gain on a typical solar cell

    I am a contractor I am made of money It's going to somebody else but I am dripping w money Lol But During the coldest days here when the burn ban is on I have blue Sky's ,warm sunshine and 0 degrees On those days it would be nice to have supplement heat for my heat pump When it rains during the...

    Solar heat gain on a typical solar cell

    Is there literature for layman to see how that would work Just because the photon collides w and dislodges an electron .that is considered work by the photon andno thermal units are part of the process or is there 2 different forms energies available instead of just the one

    Solar heat gain on a typical solar cell

    Yep Yep The problem is I just built my house using standard construction w up to code insulation Currently it's 27 f and the house cools a lot by morning A small setup that is strictly for heat will really help w my outrageous power bills Even a simple thermal mass unit under the house would...

    Solar heat gain on a typical solar cell

    160,000? What kind of system can I buy for 160,000 E Bay has cheap panels and whole systems for less than 15.000 they could be easily modified or even rebuilt to suit my needs for partial and total house heating requirements Even the water heater demands could be partially met if I wanted to go...

    Power output from a falling masss over a time period

    I started w wanting to capture tidal change w large masses and small falls I got hung up on how to transfer enormous weights to a usable form of motion As I was watching a YouTube video on alternate storage for power I found beacon power As I didn't have a clear path for transferring motions but...

    Power output from a falling masss over a time period

    its been proven impractical for general consumption/ i have no need or use for general consumption since i want an on demand power system unlike the standard power system which uses a wasteful way of producing and distributing energy a tidal generator can produce megawatts of power yes i am an...

    Solar heat gain on a typical solar cell

    also my son asked about energy gained by the solar cell reducing the thermal gain gained by photon absorbtion is there a loss of heat gain equivalent to the gain of electrical wattage

    Solar heat gain on a typical solar cell

    i have the acreage and the material but no time ,i think as a whole its well worth the time to make a free energy accumalator that has no issues other than producing energy that ,in my case ,can be utilized on demand rather than losing it
