Stirling Engine Design Calculator

A few years back there was a site on solar heat engines that featured a simple calculator for designing Stirling heat engines.  That site has long ago gone dark.  We have created a similar tool (with the help of our AI assistants ). 

It allows you to play around with the physical inputs, piston diameter, stroke, temperatures, etc and gives you an estimate of the power output.   One feature we added is the estimation of engine speed based upon a total resistive torque input.  By using these two calculators you can get a good idea of what your engine will produce.  Keep in mind these are simple tools and your actual engine operation will be different.
