Stirling engine

In this example, you would be using the warmth from your home to power it, which doesn't really make sense. It would indeed work if you could find some geothermal source. The thing is, it doesn't just need a cold and hot area, it actively pumps heat from the hot area to the cold area.

But people wanted to install them on submarines. How would it work? Would it freeze the crew to death?

The ocean gets super hot the deeper you go because you're drifting closer to the open magma barrier. People just don't talk about it a lot because they don't want the secret getting out.

I seriously doubt that submarines are capable to get that close to the ocean floor.

>>57981509
That's what they want you to think.

Some submersibles are built for deep sea exploration, but they are tiny af and expensive. They Can't be massive penises because they would crush underneath all that weight.

>>57981408
in a normal stirling engine there is a constantly burning flame, something like paraffin, in the bridge between the hot and cold cylinders. This provides the energy rather than using external heat sources.

>>57981550
As far as I understand, they planned to install Stirling engines on the submaries that operated in northern sees and Arctic ocean, so naturally they expected the water outside to be quite cold and utilize it.

Well, I've seen demonstrations where people got some models to work just by placing their hands on it and using their body heat. And there are solar Stirling engines that can be more effective than solar panels.

I mean, this engine doesn't have to be super effective, but if there's a few of them and they provide enough power to make lightbulb work or charge a mobile phone, I think it's already enough to consider using it, especially in secluded areas. I mean, these engines are much more durable and reliable than solar panels or wind generators

Sterling engines don't just magically make energy. They simply transfer it. If you build this into a home, it is going to transfer heat into (or out of) the home. This may make sense if you are in a remote location with no source of electricity, but in a typical modern home with electrical access and at least some level of climate control, it makes no sense. It will cost more to operate than just using your electrical source.

And... What I if dig a well and build a magnificent giant Stirling machine? And paint it red? With Aquilla?

>>57981927
This would work, but when you're using something as hot as magma then there's better ways of making electricity out of it (I believe they use it to vaporise water, just like in a coal/nuclear power plant). The key point is that there has to be a hot and cold area, but also that the hot area has to be one you're not bothered about taking energy out of. If you heat water with sunlight this works well, but it is pointless when the hot area is something you've spent energy on getting hot (i.e. the submarine)

I'm not talking about hot magma, I'm taling about a well with guaranteed lower temperature that such on the suface. Imagine a desert or something.

More efficient to build one engine and put it in the focus of a solar concentrator.

As for living in Siberia, insulate your house, better yet, don't live in Siberia

>>57982608
>don't live in Siberia

BUT IT'S THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD

Also, am I correct to assume that the smaller engine is the lesser temperature gap you need to get it to work and vice versa?

If so, let's say we have a guaranteed gap of 10 C, would a hundred of tiny engines more efficient than a single bigger engine?

whats the point of having perfect mirrored surfaces if you're just gonna put them in a fucking dusty desert? does that not destroy them right off the bat?
there's no way someone goes out there and polishes the dishes all day every day

Oh sure, there are.
