[SEL] Check out AipStirling

Hi List,
At the last meeting of my local Submarine Veterans Group, one of  the members 
was telling us about a Swedish submarine that was using a new  propulsion 
system.  That peaked my interest and I made a search on  Google.  When I found 
the site, I was amazed to find that the power  plant for this new "Propulsion 
System" was a Stirling engine.  In  reality, it was an application of new 
thinking to an old design.  What make  this propulsion unique, is the use of liquid 
oxygen.  The use of this  system allows a submarine to be submerged for a 
longer period of time than a  conventional non nuclear sub.  Here is the URL for 
this web  site:
