Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Stirling engines are heat engines that operate on a closed thermodynamic regenerative cycle and are used as power systems, refrigerators or heat pumps. Recent developments in Stirling technology allow the use of low temperature heat sources including flat plate solar collectors. New concepts for low–cost, low ΔT Stirling engines that may be made by village craftsmen using locally available materials are presented. It is anticipated that the machines will be used for water pumping, low capacity refrigerators for food and vaccine preservation, for air conditioning and for low level electric power generation (trickle charging an automobile battery to illuminate a 20/40 W bulb for a few hours during the dark hours).

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
