ABSTRACT:
The rotary closed series cycle engine system is a rotary version of the latest type of series or double-acting reciprocating Stirling cycle engine. Identical rotary units are mounted in a tandem arrangement with each unit providing the displacement function for an adjacent unit, in a series gas flow loop.
Thermal transfer is greatly improved by the application of a large number of small transfer tubes in a high external loop with separation between the hot and cold sources.
Since the rotary unit has non-contacting vanes, friction is kept to a minimum while the compression ratio is moderately high.
Hydrogen gas is the fuel for the system which is obtained from an electrolysis unit with a wind generator, operating on a continuous demand controlled basis.
