3480 Rob. edit: also 3639, 3656, 3684 brilliant guy, also did some real interesting stuff with mesh displacers in stirling engines, and super long connections between displacer cylinder and power cylinder, with huge deadspace. Very very interesting. I go back to his stuff maybe once a year and re-read it. |
