Rolling thunder - integration of the SOLO 161 Stirling engine with the CPG -460 solar concentrator at Ft. Huachuca
Project 'Rolling Thunder' is a dish/Stirling demonstration project at Ft. Huachuca in southeastern Arizona. As part of the project, Sandia decided to retrofit a SOLO 161 Stirling engine on the CPG-460 at Ft. Huachuca. Although the SOLO 161 PCU has operated nearly flawlessly and the CPG-460 has been, for the most part, a solid and reliable component, integration of the SOLO PCU with the CPG-460 into a functional system required significant attention.
