Stirling Heat Pumps

Just have a think Youtube page

As I dig down a bit into the subject of Stirling heat engines, I came across this channel, which discusses the Stirling Heat Pump. Actually, a Stirling Engine is reversible. That is to say, if you apply work to it, it can cool down something. It can work so well that it can produce cryogenic conditions. For "those in Rio Linda", cryogenic temperatures are pretty danged cold.

So this guy on this Youtube channel mentions another dude who is working on the Stirling Heat Pump. It isn't exactly the same thing as the reverse of the Stirling Engine, which uses heat to do work. Or is it? Cryogenic Stirling coolers are not exotic things. They've been around. A heat pump is a different application altogether, but it can use the same principles.

Now to move on to the other guy, which is mentioned in the Just have a think channel. His name is Mike Crowley, and his company is called Fluid Mechanics Ltd. It says that their machine improves the efficiency significantly. This would have applications in climate control, which uses a lot of energy in today's world. There is global concern about carbon emissions, but my local interest is in something efficient which would not require a lot of energy to run. Off-the-grid applications are required to have their own energy sources. It would be best if these requirements are kept to a minimum.

Let Crowley explain his system in his own words in the video below...
