 Introduction
• First developed in 1816 by Reverend
Dr. Robert stirling
• After development, had little use
until the mid 1900’s, when it
became more common
• Used today in many applications,
primarily green energy, since the
heat source can be anything
(geothermal, solar, etc.)
• stirling engine has a sealed cylinder with one
part hot and the other cold
• In cylinder there should be air, helium or
hydrogen.
• There will be one displacer which can be
used for crankshaft motion.
• When gas hits up it expand and pressure on
displacer
• It can also useful because we can give
motion to any element by crank shaft.
• Mostly in solar power generation can be
used where heat source is sun light.
 ABSTRACT
In rural area electricity problem
But its cost effective to supply electricity
Thus in project we make simple stirling engine
By that we can generate electricity
Here we demonstrate it for simple battery charger.
stirling engine when heated ,there will mechanical
motion in engine
From that by rotating motor we generate 12v for
battery charging or another application.
 WORKING
There is two end one hot and other cold
When one end of stirling engine heated ,air will expand
and pressure displacer to move upward side
By connecting this displacer to crack shaft we get
mechanical motion
And connecting motor after crank shaft we get 12v for
battery charging
After displacer reach top position, air cooled and piston
move downward
Again piston heated and move upward.
By this back and forth movement we get continuous
supply
 Type of stirling engine
• Main application of the stirling cycle
• Uses pistons and cylinders to rotate a
crankshaft
• Two types/configurations – Alpha and
Beta
• Alpha Stirling engines use two cylinders
and two pistons
• Beta Stirling engines use one cylinder,
one piston and a “displacer”

 The Stirling Cycle
• Process 1-2: Isothermal
expansion
• 2-3: Constant-volume
cooling
• 3-4: Isothermal
compression
• 4-1: Constant-volume
heating

 Advantage
• Simple design
• Low cost
• Portable
• Good Performance
• Good efficiency

 Conclusion
• Low torque
• In order to be more efficient, it
requires metals with very high
thermal conductivity, which can be
expensive
• Rotation is not always smooth – the
fluid sometimes heats up faster than
it cools off
