Combination of working Stirling Engine, electric power generator and electric heating element, installed inside or outside of hot chamber, powered directly from the generator and equipped with on-off switch.
Description
Drawings = Figure 1 = Figure 2 Background Of The Invention The Stirling engine (or Stirling's air engine as it was known at the time) was invented and patented by Robert Stirling in 1816. It was probably the first engine to be put to practical use when in 1818 an engine built by Stirling was employed pumping water in a quarry. The main subject of Stirling's original patent was a heat exchanger which he called an "economizer" for its enhancement of fuel economy in a variety of applications. The patent also described in detail the employment of one form of the economizer in his unique closed-cycle air engine design in which application it is now generally known as a "regenerator". Subsequent development by Robert Stirling and his brother James, an engineer, resulted in patents for various improved configurations of the original engine including pressurization which had by 1843 sufficiently increased power output to drive all the machinery at a Dundee iron foundry.
Applications of the Stirling engine range from heating and cooling to underwater power systems. A Stirling engine can function in reverse as a heat pump for heating or cooling. Other uses include: combined heat and power, solar power generation, Stirling cryocoolers, heat pump, marine engines, and low temperature difference engines.
At the present time the Stirling engine is of very limited use, yet it is still being manufactured by some companies in Europe and New Zealand. Also in North America, in California there have been already built many electric power generators with the Stirling engines which use solar energy concentrated on hot engine cylinder by parabolic mirror for the Stirling engine activation.

Manufactured in Europe and New Zealand electric power and heat energy generators activated by the Stirling engines with water cooling are used as autonomous sources of electric power and heat and utilize natural gas as a fuel.
For example device manufactured in Germany has a size of kitchen dishwasher and produces 9 kilo-watt of electric and 26 kilo-watt of heat energy.
Electric heating element is also used in the Stirling engines as a device for decreasing the start-up time for the Stirling engine (Patent CA 1, 066,899).
Summary Of The Invention The invention pertains to a method of use of electric power, produced by electric power generator with the Stirling engine of any type for heating of electric heating element, installed inside or outside the hot chamber which starts up the Stirling engine without using external source of heat produced as a result of burning of raw hydrocarbons.
In the drawings, which form a part of this specification, Fig.1 is a Stirling engine with electric heating element installed outside of the hot chamber, whereas:
Element 1 is a Stirling engine;
Element 2 is an electric power generator;
Element 3 is an electric heating element;
Element 4 is a hot chamber;
Element 5 is electric cables;
Element 6 is an off-on switch;

Detailed Description Of The Invention How it works.
1) Any heat source 7 (for example: wood, gas or fuel) is used to start up the Stirling engine 1;
2) After the Stirling engine 1 with the electric power generator 2 has reached working RPM, bring the off-on switch 6 to position "on" to use electric power, produced by the electric power generator 2 to power the electric heating element 3.
3) In 10-15 seconds turn off the heat source 7.

3) In 10-15 seconds turn off the heat source 7.
4) The Stirling engine 1 runs fuelless using approximately 50% of electric power produced by the electric power generator 2.
Use of the invention.
a) The rest of electric energy and heat energy (if the Stirling engine 1 got a water cooling system) can be used.
b) If electric power generator 2 is smaller and produces amount of electric power which is sufficient just to keep the Stirling engine 1 running, the rest of mechanical power produced by the Stirling engine 1 can be used.
c) If the Stirling engine 1 and electric power generator 2 have power which is sufficient only to keep each other running, the system simply turns into a water heating unit (for example, home furnace).
