Silly engine question

which links to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crower_six_stroke

 

What, I can't be circular in my observations?

 

Try telling my kettle that. Fucking sore it was.

 

And you are. Thanks.

 

Ah. This makes perfect sense.

 

That's the kiddie I was thinking of[1].

Err, that's not how Stirling engines work.

 

You could, but the energy you would use in squeezing the fluid would
be more than what you would get back.

 

Difficult as it may be to believe, platy, I'm the only sane fucker on UKRM.

I believe so, yes.

The law of "conservation of energy" is your problem where water is
concerned. The energy required to compress the air/water mix would only be
equal to any energy created by the resulting steam in a perfect system. Add
in losses due to friction etc. and it would require more energy to turn the
engine that any output you might get. Any fuel would need to have its own
inherent energy source e,g the heat generated when carbon-based chemicals
burn in oxygen.

 

Not if he added little windmills to the top of the pistons.

Worse than losses due to friction would be losses due to entropy.

 

Heh.. sensible. That's a good one, I'll remember that.

 

I don't need google fucking earth to sell me where they make bombs
tvm.
