Presentation of the site

Presentation is slightly modified. It better meets the spirit of the International XHTML and CSS standards.
A list of links has been added to access other sites on the hot-air engines:
– a general site about hot air engines.
– a site on the Ericsson engine.
– a site on the Manson engine.
These sites are, for instant, in French. Wait a moment for the translation…
Thank you to report anomalies that might result from these changes.
Happy reading!

Bibliography

Link to the thesis “Hot air engines: study of a STIRLING engine and of an ERICSSON engine” sustained by Sébastien Bonnet.

December 21, 2008: a very bad news

I just learned with great sadness the decease of Fernand . You can see his achievements on the first page “Achievements” .
He will remain for all fans of Stirling engine a reference on the technical level but also in human terms.
Have a thought for him and all his relatives.
