Product Description
Hot air engines, often called Stirling engines, are among the most interesting and intriguing engines ever to be designed. They run on just about any fuel, from salad oil and hydrogen to solar and geothermal energy. They produce a rotary motion that can be used to power anything, from boats and buggies to fridges and fans. This book demonstrates how to design, build, and optimise Stirling engines. A broad selection of Roy’s engines is described, giving a valuable insight into the many different types and a great deal of information relating to the home manufacture of these engines is included in the workshop section.

Nice book, but lacks plans how to build some simple engines. Great info, and history, but I wanted one with complete plans for a solar Sterling and plans on a larger functional sterling in detail. This book is for a great introduction into the hot air engines. I would recomend it for an introduction to hot engines. But if you are looking for a book to invent or make one, then look elseware.
