RE: The Charger - Does it really exist ?13 Feb 2023 09:55
Moonglow:
Tell me what is actually being tested at present. The RNS are ambiguous. My understanding is, it is the collection system that gathers heat from the engine exhaust and NOT a completed system producing electricity from a Stirling engine.
The figures quoted - 34 kW and 64 kW with the Helix Accelerator are preposterous for electrical output.
There has been no announcement that the Stirling engine part of the system has been manufactured! Since the engine forms 50% or 65 % of the entire WHR system, depending which RNS you wish to believe, news of its completion would be wondrous. Of course since the only Stirling under development for the last decade has a quoted output of 6.4 kW talk of 34 kW and 64 kW confirm these are not electrical outputs from the In-spirit Stirling. Why do the brilliant engineering minds at In-spirit write unclear and ambiguous reports ? What power is going into this 'box' to produce 34 kW, the output figure is meaningless without an input figure. Why is there no patent for the amazing Helix Accelerator?
