Synopsis
This is arguably the 5th reprint for this book, parts of which first appeared in the 1980s as “Modelling Stirling and Hot Air Engines”. If you want a reasonable history of hot air engines, a comprehensive and intelligible description of how they work, and drawings and construction details of models of all the major configurations of hot air engine, all of which can be built without castings, then this is absolutely the book for you - as simple as that! You will need to have access to a lathe to build most of the engines featured, but a couple can be built without such sophisticated equipment. Nearly 200 pages, including a 4 page colour section.

Layout and Design by Andrew Luckhurst, Bath, Somerset, Printed and Bound by Biddles Limited, Guilford and Kings Lynn. The "Stirling-Cycle Engine" also known as the "STIRLING ENGINE" is the generic name given to a group of prime movers commonly known as "hot air engines" Stirling Engines work on a "closed cycle" system where the working medium, that is air, hydrogen or helium, is used over and over again. "Closed Cycle" and "Open Cycle" hot air engines are extremely heated to raise temperature of the working medium to provide the required degree of volumetric expansion in order to provide force. These engines are therefore also known as "External Combustion" engines. ("Open-cycle" hot air engines have fresh working medium induced during each cycle by means of valves). A truly fascinating read, ideal for all engine enthusiasts. Seller Inventory # 2116
