Guided by Assistant Professor Tony Pollman, a Naval Postgraduate School team belonging to the Department of Systems Engineering has developed a unique apparatus using a dual-Stirling engine charge and recovery technique for liquid air energy storage (LAES) platforms.
A provisional patent has been issued for this prototype Stirling dual-engine apparatus constructed by NPS Systems Engineering students Lts. Christopher Girouard and Nicholas Bailey, with the support of advisor Dr. Anthony Pollman. The students’ theses led to this novel approach, using a dual-Stirling engine charge and recovery method for liquid air energy storage (LAES) systems. Image Credit: Naval Postgraduate School.
