Stirling Engine: Thinking Outside the Gas Pump
| Division: | Health Sciences / None | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Regina | | City: | Regina, SK | | School: | Winston Knoll Collegiate | | Abstract: | Our project is on the Stirling engine. A Stirling engine is a heat engine that runs on temperature difference. It has an air tight piston chamber, fly wheel, and a foam piston. As the hot air rises it contacts the denser, cooler air and sinks, pushing the piston up and down. We look at the power output and possible modern applications for the engine. |
