Presented from the point of view of the U.S. Department of Energy's Program Office, the overview is a synopsis of the Automotive Stirling Engine Technology Development Program's accomplishments of the 1981-82 program year and the program's current status. The MOD I Stirling engine is the focal point of the program. Four MOD I engines have been and continue to be tested and evaluated. Areas of study include: power and efficiency; materials and component development, including use of ceramics; engine downsizing and packaging; hydrogen containment; durability/reliability; multifuel capability; and others. Upcoming program-sponsored projects are briefly described.
