Hi my name is Don Bishop and this is my “Deal” Today... Basically, anything that interest me. Music, Computers, Software, Apps, Linux OS's - Distros, Space, Science, Auto's, Trucks, 4x4's, Motorcycles and other slightly interesting info that I find on the Web. There may, or may not be, any correlation between my Posts. Just whatever interests me at the time. I hope someone out there finds some of this interesting too!:)

Stirling engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Stirling engine is a closed-cycle regenerative heat engine with a gaseous working fluid. "Closed-cycle" means the working fluid, the gas which pushes on the piston, is permanently contained within the engine's system. This also categorizes it as an external heat engine which means it can be driven by any convenient source of heat. "Regenerative" refers to the use of an internal heat exchanger called a 'regenerator' which increases the engine's thermal efficiency compared to the similar but simpler hot air engine.
