why didnt i study this in five years of thermodinamics

why is it stupid?

do you really understand what getting work from a 2º gradient means?

man you like planes so probably like engine

and arent you amazed at an anegine which works on 2º temp difference?
i am

nice! But...

"Test units constructed by Mother Earth News (Issue 40, July 1976) and the MythBusters (Episode 24, December 5, 2004 – "Ming Dynasty Astronaut") did work to convert temperature difference into torque..."

[raaaid]

yeah and dont you find odd only old written reference is mother nature article when mintos from 1900

something really is going on

The thing with this device is the heated water, you need an external source to put BTU's into the water. It's a gimmic and not efficient. Pseudoscience..

[raaaid]

tel me something with better eficiency then 85% and that works with less than 2º gradient

and why it was only distributed through mother erath magazine "till now" but supression


this used to be coolest till now

You can fly your tea cup powered machine, Ill fly my pertol driven ICE...

Thanks but no thanks.

Why dont you check out the water powered car... Thats allot more relevant to your argument...

What, like the sun?

None of this has ever been suppressed. The Stirling cycle is taught in real thermo classes but, evidently, not in imaginary ones. We even had a Stirling engine in our thermo lab.

I will go out on a limb and bet that there is no university level text book printed in the last 60 years that has not covered a closed cycle heat engine (like the Stirling cycle).

Regardless, the problem is not whether or not it, "works". Everyone knows it "works". Stirling engines have been used throughout the world for hundreds of years and are in use today. The problem is with the specific power of closed cycle engines.

Just because you can turn a little flywheel on a table top does not mean it will scale up to produce megawatts of easily manageable power better than every other means of generating mechanical work.

So, in summary, no suppression, just the difficulties of reality.

do you know what work is?

torque produces work

a thermic engine transforms temp gradient into work

a fridge the opposite transforms work into temp gradient

maybe you misred what did work means, in this case it means funciono
