practical experiment with Stirling cooling

Mr. Gord May,

I think that you might enjoy reading some technical reports on Global Cooling’s Website at http://www.globalcooling.nl/
It looks like that a COP of >1.5 is achieved at a room temperature of 30 degrees C with a interior temp of zero degrees C for their 100 watt model. That would be an EER of 5.1 compared with Engel’s portable units EER of 4.1 at a much easier temperature range.
Why don’t you get them to supply one for testing installed on a boat (yours!) and then tell the forum the results? It would be a real opportunity to make a contribution to energy efficiency for the marine world.
That way you would do all the work and then tell the rest of us the results. Sounds like a win-win situation for us all, retards and rocket scientists alike!
I sure do like this forum, especially when people that have tried it tell us all about it.
