I'm making a better engine. OP just wants to make models of outdated engines.

Does CO2 corrode tungsten electrodes?

picrel

You basically have to heat the fuck out of a piston or get shit efficiency. Also, external combustion does not capture the work done by combustion itself. Better off with a Brayton engine.

>>2642388
A Stirling engine is a lot larger than an internal combustion of the same displacement. An inline 4 is also twice as long as an equivalent V4. Why no comparison with a V6?

>>2642391
That's actually impressive economy, but it was built by rocket scientists, nonetheless. Nobody in their garage could make a Stirling engine that efficient.

>>2642396
And kept the limitations inherent to internal combustion.

They don't produce low torque.

>>2642786
No they don't. Growing biomass makes more sense.

>coal slurry destroying the engines
Turbine pitting? Otherwise, powdered coal could act as a lubricant if they removed the ash.

Well, you could develop a internal combustion "Stirling" engine, but at that point, you'd be better off with other engine types.

Maybe with a geothermal loop.

In my design, you'd kiln dry the wood to produce steam power. You could do this with the engine exhaust on a gasifier.

You wouldn't need a fuel pump.

I've something superior.

>what changes to your lifestyle are you willing to make?
Mobile welding and fabrication

>Are you willing to walk to a well for your water or do you need plumbing?
Don't need to, I can use a water bath to cool the exhaust, distill grey/black water, then condense potable water.

>Speaking of plumbing, are you willing to walk to an outhouse?
Kiln dry it (steam power) and then burn it.

>hide from the combustion monitoring drones
Heat reclaimation and lower exhaust temperatures

>Can we theory-craft a sustainable affordable method for smelting of high temperature metals without excessive energy consumption?
Gas turbines
