Title: Electricity generation from pond
Post by: CG on April 24, 2022, 08:31:22 am

I keep going back to this idea.
@Caleb, Did you ever try to use your LTD Stirling backwards, like this?
I would like to do this as the bottom of my pond is very cold during the summer heat. But building the extra large stirling would be a challenge.

I never finished the large Stirling engine that I started years ago.  It was taking up a lot of space, so I took it apart.  I never did get to see if it would work.
