Optimization of engines operated remotely by laser power
A 1976 NASA technical report by M. Garbuny and M. J. Pechersky on engines driven by remote laser power, written for aerospace and energy-conversion engineers. The line drawings include a cutaway of a swash-plate Stirling-type engine with labelled heater, regenerator, cooler and laser window, plus a schematic engine paired with a pressure-volume cycle graph, useful for leader-line callouts, hatched cutaway textures and mechanical diagram layouts.
