Stirling Engine
In the fall of 2013, a team of 4 students and I built a low temperature differential gamma-type Stirling engine designed to be powered by an organic energy source. Our prototype, while based on a known design, was substantially modified to optimize manufacturability while maintaining similar performance (output of less than 10W). Finally, we created a simplified dynamic simulation which aligned with our experimental results.
