Stirling motor

Ivo Kolin presented his new Stirling motor at the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering of the Zagreb University on 17 November 1982. For the first time in the history of piston motors heat was turned into mechanical work at the temperature lower than the boiling water. Very soon, the newly invented principle came to United States, where it was improved by prof. Jim Senft. He succeeded in running his model at the ΔT of only 0,5 °C. Today is Kolin's principle of Stirling motor further developed worldwide.
