Stirling-Cycle Power Plant Technology |
| The Stirling-cycle power-plant derives its power from very rapidly heating and cooling the same volume of air. When the air is heated, it expands, pushing a piston outward; when the same volume of air is rapidly cooled, it contracts, pulling the same piston inward, providing power. The same volume of air is alternately heated and cooled at a very rapid pace converting the heat energy to mechanical energy used to turn the fan blade. |
