When you say generator, how large are you referring to?

The Stirling engine is large and heavy for its equivalent output compared to an IC engine. And while about 8 percent more efficient than the IC engine, it's power is only developed at HIGH speed. In generator applications (low speed applications), it would require a speed reducer between the power plant and the generator.

Being an external combustion engine, cooling needs to be many times larger than a comparable IC engine. In stationary application, such as large generators; the size of the cooling system, needed speed reducer, and the extra size and weight of the engine may not be direct disadvantages. However, the increase in costs to build bigger must be weighed against the savings in operating costs. In portable or mobile applications, the disadvantages out weigh any increase in efficiency the engine may provide.

In a side note, the Swiss have experimented and developed a Stirling/air-independent propulsion powerplant for use in submarines. But for direct propulsion the Stirling is only capable of moving the vessel at a quarter the speed developed when using battery power. The Stirling AIP powerplant advantage (using liquid O2) is its ability for the sub to remain submerged for weeks rather than days before having to resurface to recharge batteries.

These light load do well enough for anything shed need honestly, need to switch to a different bullet because these I'm using are pretty inconsistent measured ten of them and there all over. Ridgerunner gave me a load I'll be trying
But till then

No clue on the high powder loads baking the same impact though. No real reason to worry though because doubt it will eat much other then these light loads for a good long while . Besides I'm using bullets designed for a 6.8 SPCso they are ment to open up at lowered velocities and since I got this .270 running basically like a souped up 6.8 should pan out decent...should

I guess I should state that they are the current ones offered for sale by various suppliers… ones made after 9os per say.

Those look good!

There are more beagle breeders who breed for pets or show than there are breeders of hunting beagles. And the pet/show dogs are so far removed from good hunting stock that they wouldnt make anything other than a lap dog.

So definitely depends on if your looking for a straight pet or pet/hunting dog. But yeah either way you go the prices for papered dogs is high.

My personal opinion is that it WILL happen. Not necessarily as bad as then but it will be bad. I believe that this AI frenzy is a bubble. But when will it burst? This year, next? Who knows.......

Higher 10 year T-notes mean investors want to be paid more to hold U.S. debt. Why? Because, imo, inflation isn't not only not going down, it's rising. Nobody knows how Trump is gonna handle Iran, but everyone is expecting gas to be higher for longer, which will make prices higher.....which pretty much eliminates the prospect of more rate cuts, and increases the possibility that the next Fed move will be UP not down.... which would make US debt more expensive.

If the Fed raises rates again, the market will not like it, and it will contract. But by how much? And for how long? When the Fed rose rates following Covid, the market did contract. The DJIA, for example, fell from ~36k all the way down to ~28k in 2022. BUT it was back to it's post-Covid highs by the end of 2023.....and since then has been on a tear, despite higher rates that have been slow to come down (good thing, imo).

Any one every try one or have one of these. I have read many reviews positive experience and then I could drag that in and never have to take it out. No motors to mess with. Some labor involved but would be easier on my shoulfers than that axe.

Very cool! Been a bit since I went fishing.

350 legend with the right bullet is a hammer on deer, wont use a 12ga ever again

Vinke , I’m thinking kill traps to get a longer check time. EBL, I could go with bait boxes with big e snap traps inside, I guess if the mink stick around kill them later. I’ll give these some thought.
