Country of Publication: United States Document Type: CONFERENCE PAPER Most documents available from AIAA Technical LibraryOther Availability: NTIS HC A15/MF AOI Journal Announcement: STARS418 Recent advamces in the art of free piston Stir1ing engine design make possible the production of 1-lOkW free piston Stir1ing linear alternator engine, hermetica11y sealed, efficient, durable and simple in construction and operation. Power output is in the form of single or three phase 60 Hz. AC, or DC. The three phase capability is a vai1 ab1e from sing1e machi nes without need of e x t erna1 conditioning. Engine voltage control regains set voltage within 5 cycles in response to any load change. The ex1sting SPIKE 2 des i gn h as an engin e a11 ern a t or efficiency of 257 at, 650 C heater wall temperature and a service life? of aver three? years in solar service. The same system can be scaled over a range of at least 100 watts to 25kW. ( M.A.C.)
