The interest in alternative power units has increased. It is now clear that a conventional combustion engine is not a good energy transformer. We study the possibilities of using alternative heat engines - steam engine, Stirling engine, hot air - Ericsson engine. The Stirling engine has been given a lot of attention, many research projects have dealt with the use of this engine. A very important part of a hot air engines, Stirling or Ericsson engine, is just a heat exchanger, which is the basic energy converter from the fuel to the engine.

He graduated from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Zilina, Department of Transport and Handling Technology, Department of Combustion Engines and Aircraft Engines. After studying, he enrolled in PhD at the Department of Power Engineering, where he dealt with work on heat transfer to the Stirling engine working medium.
