Hot air engines, often called Stirling engines, are among the most interesting and intriguing engines ever to be designed. They run on just about any fuel, from salad oil and hydrogen to solar and geothermal energy. They produce a rotary motion that can be used to power anything, from boats and buggies to fridges and fans. This book demonstrates how to design, build, and optimise Stirling engines. A broad selection of Roy s engines is described, giving a valuable insight into the many different types and a great deal of information relating to the home manufacture of these engines is included...

A decade of observations of the Sun with NASAs Solar Maximum Mission satellite has led to important discoveries in solar and atomic physics. This book presents the first comprehensive review of these results in a single volume, providing a snapshot of the current state of knowledge of solar physics. Chapters provide insight into the structure, composition and activity of the Sun, with coverage of topics such as solar flares, variations in the solar irradiance, coronal mass ejections, and spectroscopy.

A decade of observation of the sun with NASA's Solar Maximum satellite has led to many discoveries in solar physics and atomic physics. While the analysis of the data is still continuing, a large body of literature has been published interpreting results from the mission. This book collects a review of these results in a single volume, aiming to provide a snapshot of the state of knowledge of solar physics. It intends to present a useful tool for both teaching and research, as well as a guide to planners of future missions to investigate the sun. Individual chapters cover topics such as:...
