Hello - I just bought a Remington Rand 5 typewriter, circa 1935 and I was wondering WHAT thickness or type of paper I should be using in it? I have heard from other people that thick printer paper will not work well with this. This is the typewriter I have:
Locked engine means the parts that should spin are locked up and not moving. It is fatal. Most times, it is not repairable. If it can be fixed, it is usually cheaper to replace the engine instead.
Not presently and not as an engine, but I have used Stirling cycle coolers in the past. The same thermodynamic cycle that can make the Stirling engine operate with heat can make it cool to cryogenic temperatures when it driven by another motor. These are useful for localized cooling to temperatures below that of liquid nitrogen. We used them to cool infra-red detectors in laser radars and for cooling high purity germanium (HPGe) detectors which detect gamma radiation.
Stirling cycle is very much in use for creating low cryogenic temperatures. . You may Contact Low temp. physics experts.
