William Beale was a mechanical engineering professor at Ohio University in the 1960's. In 1964 he invented one of the most ingenious external heat source engines yet devised – the Free Piston Stirling Engine.
dedicated to William T. Beale (1928 – 2016), inventor of the Free Piston Stirling Engine, Mentor and Friend. This web resource is intended to be totally self contained learning resource for the analysis and development of computer simulation of single phase, piston/cylinder Stirling cycle machines.
Beale was a man of ideas and actions whose mind never stopped looking for ways to improve the world even to the end. Beale served on the faculty of the Russ College of Engineering and Technology at Ohio University from 1960 to 1974. In 1964, he created a new form of Stirling engine known as the Free-Piston Stirling Engine, which featured ...
“Half a dozen people in various parts of the world tried to make a free piston Stirling engine work. But the free piston Stirling engine is a paradox of seeming mechanical simplicity which is in fact difficult and complicated to execute. Most who tried failed completely. William Beale was a notable exception.
The free-piston Stirling engine, with its displacer driven by differential areas between the compression and expansion spaces, was conceived by Prof. William T. Beale of Ohio University in March of 1964.
A principios de la década de 1960, William Beale, un profesor de la Universidad de Ohio en Athens, Ohio, inventó el motor Stirling de pistón libre y, con un propósito notablemente único, puso el dispositivo en producción comercial en forma de un pequeño motor de demostración a principios de la década de 1970..
Sunpower was founded in Athens, Ohio based on the technology developed by a professor of mechanical engineering at Ohio University, William Beale. Mr. Beale was teaching a class on the principles of the Stirling engine when it occurred to him there could be a better way.
