A Stirling engine is a heat engine operating by cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas, the working fluid, at different temperature levels such that there is a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work. Like the steam engine, the Stirling engine is traditionally classified as an external combustion engine, as all heat transfers to and from the working fluid take place through the engine wall. This contrasts with an internal combustion engine where heat input is by combustion of a fuel within the body of the working fluid. Unlike a steam engine’s (or more generally a Rankine cycle engine’s) usage of a working fluid in both its liquid and gaseous phases, the Stirling engine encloses a fixed quantity of permanently gaseous fluid such as air. Typical of heat engines, the general cycle consists of compressing cool gas, heating the gas, expanding the hot gas, and finally cooling the gas before repeating the cycle. The efficiency of the process is narrowly restricted by the efficiency of the Carnot cycle, which depends on the temperature difference between the hot and cold reservoir. Originally conceived in 1816 as an industrial prime mover to rival the steam engine, its practical use was largely confined to low-power domestic applications for over a century. The Stirling engine is noted for its high efficiency compared to steam engines, quiet operation, and the ease with which it can use almost any heat source. This compatibility with alternative and … ]]> http://www.fuelefficientmotoring.com/2012/04/24/homemade-stirling-engine.html/feed 0 http://www.fuelefficientmotoring.com/2012/03/10/mark-prisk-business-minister.html http://www.fuelefficientmotoring.com/2012/03/10/mark-prisk-business-minister.html#comments Sun, 11 Mar 2012 02:50:59 +0000 Fuel Efficient Motoring http://www.fuelefficientmotoring.com/?page_id=319

This is a real old video I had that I forgot to upload way back when, it was at my dad’s dealership Car Connections, Inc. I will also have a short test drivevideo on it. In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle. ]]> http://www.fuelefficientmotoring.com/2011/12/11/2007-honda-civic-hybrid-start-up-engine-and-in-depth-tour.html/feed 0 http://www.fuelefficientmotoring.com/2011/12/06/fuel-efficient-car-technology.html http://www.fuelefficientmotoring.com/2011/12/06/fuel-efficient-car-technology.html#comments Tue, 06 Dec 2011 18:05:59 +0000 Fuel Efficient Motoring http://www.fuelefficientmotoring.com/?page_id=313

This is the third volume in Mark Poulton’s highly successful series of books on road transport technology developments. At the heart of the book is Poulton’s concern with fuel economy improvement in vehicle design. the book centers around this theme, and with a focused but comprehensive approach, Poulton outlines the possible technological means by which these improvements can be made. This account provides the reader with invaluable information as to the current research and state of development of vehicle manufacturing. In addition to the author’s wealth of knowledge on vehicle design, the information in the book is readily accessible: each self-contained chapter enables the reader to be informed on a particular topic, without having to explore the index for further reference.

The book will be of great interest to mechanical and transportation engineers, and to those with a technical interest or association with the subject.
