The Air Engine: Stirling Cycle Power for a Sustainable Future

Two centuries after the original invention, the Stirling engine is now a commercial reality as the core component of domestic CHP (combined heat and power) - a technology offering substantial savings in raw energy utilization relative to centralized power generation. The threat of climate change requires a net reduction in hydrocarbon consumption and in emissions of 'greenhouse' gases whilst sustaining economic growth. Development of technologies such as CHP addresses both these needs.Organ, Allan J. is the author of 'The Air Engine: Stirling Cycle Power for a Sustainable Future', published 2007 under ISBN 9781845692315 and ISBN 1845692314.
