Product Description
Product Description
For Stirling engines to enjoy widespread application and acceptance, not only must the fundamental operation of such engines be widely understood, but the requisite analytic tools for the stimulation, design, evaluation and optimization of Stirling engine hardware must be readily available. The purpose of this design manual is to provide an introduction to Stirling cycle heat engines, to organize and identify the available Stirling engine literature, and to identify, organize, evaluate and, in so far as possible, compare non-proprietary Stirling engine design methodologies. This report was originally prepared for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the U. S. Department of Energy.

I thought this book would help with the design of stirling engines but its just a book full of graphs and figures.
The illustrations are awful and I feel like I wasted my money.
Maybe i am just thick but I defy anyone to read this book and then build a stirling engine.
Best thing to do is look on youtube at all of the ones people make and demonstrate.

Google it!

Format:Paperback
I was able to find the original report with Google. I used "NASA" and "Stirling Engine Design Manual" as search terms and used google's cached page. The .pdf file was here:

Stirling Engine Design Manual
9 July 2008
Format:Paperback
This book is a copy of a report directed to NASA and the D.O.E. from the early eighties. 70% of its content is reference and dated software text. I don't consider it a waste of money but would not recommend buying it without having first thumbed through it. That said the first 130 pages do deliver!

Good overview, but out-dated.
17 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
A good overview of several design processes for Stirling Engines. However, some of the data and technology (computer programs) is out-dated.
