High Temperature full-Metal Stirling Engine Motor Model Physics Power Generator External Educational Science Physics Experiment
A Stirling engine is basically a forced draught generator. You feed in a hot air and he turns and a little weaned turbine. So 12th percent of the heat is converted into electricity.
My friend firm that a 30x1.5cm steam turbine release a constant 1 MW of heat. Driving a little steam turbine would generate ½ MW of electrical power. For convenience we rectify into mains linked AC current. But such a device a cost of 12,000 UK pounds.
A cheaper alternative is a commercially sourced Stirling engine. Which we feed the air heated by the little plasma cylinder.
We start the plasma using the high voltage electronics from old fluorescent light, and he runs and power for the rest are history. Using two little water ever to measure!
And we get out 120 kW of electrical power. Each house needs just 8 kW of electrical power on Christmas day. The national grid will happily pay us 112 UK pounds for our excess current. Remember we use a lot less power normally!
And these devices will happily sit in the air as house in the garden, or in the cellar it generated free electrical power. We then try and generate power for the local area. We are concerned with the excess electricity for a house.
And this is our 1980s engineering!
