ABOUT RAGNAROK ENGINEERING
Non‑Electric Technology in Harmony with Nature.
It has been a long journey to get here and not in a straight line... Different factors had to come together — The reasons behind the project, including solar-geological cataclysm issues, and Stirling Air Engines for application in this context. Each has its own deep story. The result has been a blend of classic and innovative engineering, for rugged dependability. It is non‑electric, benefiting both health and nature.
Of the different roots, the more disturbing factors have been the reasons behind the project, and what it has to achieve and cope with as a transition tool. The home built experimental models have been extremely useful in aiding the development of the design, but the project has now outgrown this stage. Collaboration with building and developing full size prototypes is now invited.
Our position is that contemporary society has made itself very vulnerable to collapse as much is wrong, and getting worse. Furthermore, we cannot prevent 'Climate Change' because it is solar driven. — We need to have Spiritual Intelligence here, to know what is the best thing to do.
Sooner or later we are facing the likes of a Carrington Event, possibly worse. For an engineer, the known facts are that Stirling Cycle machines can still work in strong electro-magnetic fields and they can function as heat pumps, many are in cryogenics. Also they could be mechanical wind powered, not requiring any electricity. Rather the purpose of building experimental models is to take such an idea for a low cost machine in a specific rural application, try out variations in the details manufactured in a home workshop, and get a viable design together for a full size prototype. Therefore experimental models are just a cost effective bridge to get the project viable... Its modest beginnings do not reflect the magnitude of its importance, only the of obliviousness of our mesmerized technological society to real world inevitably.
Yin and Yang needs balance, so in a world dominated by Yang, we need more Yin.
