Abstract
The use of polluting and non-renewable energy sources has became a global problem. There is a prominent interest of multinationals and government companies in researching and discovering new energy resources that reduce environmental aggression, compare fossil fuel efficiency and maintain the profits generated by energy production. Stirling engines come as an alternative to generate clean and renewable energy, from the most diverse sources of heat. The principle of these engines is based on the external combustion of fluids contained in pistons, subjected to temperature changes, volume and pressure in an operating cycle. In this project, the Stirling type alpha engine will be used to produce mechanical work in order to obtain analyzes on the consumption, efficiency of the use of different fuels, the effective power generated, the advantages and disadvantages of the application of these mechanisms experimentally and according to the data collection, the development of these machines in real size would emerge as a fundamental trend for the dynamics of renewable energy generation.
