KS90 Solar LTD

Solar operation

This particular engine has been specifically designed by our technicians for solar operation. In today's energy conscious world solar devices are in great demand, and this little engine clearly and easily demonstrates how easy it is to harness the power of the sun and convert it in to motion.

An interesting fact about solar power is that there is enough energy hitting the earth in the form of sunlight to allow us to completely convert to 100% solar energy, if only there was a way of capturing it. Many multi-national energy providers are seriously investigating using Stirling engines to harness sun power, in an effort to mave away from fossil and nuclear fuels.

Efficiency

Because Stirling engines have a theoretical 40% greater efficiency than photo-voltaic (PV) panels worldwide energy companies are investigating using them as a way to provide energy in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way. Such companies use our KS90 to demonstrate the principles behind generating electricity using Stirling engines.
