Title: CO2 engines
Post by: nickhawk on Jan 12, 2026, 10:30 AM
Belonging to the generation which still loved reading books ,yes I am talking about this weird material called paper,I have a question. Is there any book covering the essentials of CO2 engines??I am searching several weeks for something on the net but no luck so far.

There was one by Tony Brookes.
I have a copy and I think I may have a second under the house.  There are copies on fleabay but they are rather pricey

And this one as well, but in german. A very good one by the late Klaus Joerg Hammerschmidt, one of the experts

If you're quick, World of Books has one copy of Tony Brookes remaining at GBP10.95 in the UK. It's worth buying at that and sticking on eBay at 80 quid! Even Abebooks sellers are asking £60. I thonk it is a good introductory level read.
