 INTRODUCTION
• The purpose is to develop a Stirling engine capable of
operating on variety of heat sources, specifically on solar
heat and traditional fuel combustion.
• Such an engine would have applications generating
power in remote locations, using solar heat to offset fuel
consumption. This project developed a prototype engine
that can be analyzed to develop a model for use in
designing a full scale engine.
 OBJECTIVE
• Stirling engine is a very common type of engine which can be
used for conversion of heat into mechanical energy
• Up until now, the most widely used source of heat is by
combustion of fossil fuels or other burning sources
• Picking up an alternative source which can ultimately help in
decreasing various pollutions of our environment
• Solar energy is abundant, sustainable, powerful and easily
available source
• A combination of solar and Stirling engine have wide future
and possibilities
MOTIVATION
 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
• Working of Stirling engine into three categories, namely
1. Alpha type engine
2. Beta type engine
3. Gamma type engine
• The working method of the solar Stirling engine as our project
progress with Gamma type engine
• The figure below depicts the complete Stirling cycle of a
Gamma type engine
• Usually, solar Stirling engines are equiped with solar dish is
used to concentrate the solar focal length
• In our case, considering the economic budget and the user
friendliness, we decided to adopt Fresnel lens as the main
means of solar power concentration
