Also, Physics guys.

Where's a table of the specific heat capacity of gas at, sat 20degC and 1 atmos? If I wanted to pick a gas for high heat capacity, do I use Sulfur Hexafluoride?

Edit,

nope

Hydrogen is good. They use it to cool the generators at Huntly power station. Probably the best heat capacity vs price

Ah, per bike spam thread, I'm thinking about hot-glueing a stirling engine together, maybe using a gt125 with 90deg offset crank. I have a client who has ~1kw gas at ~300deg, and needs 100W electrical.

Stirling engines need low thermal mass to get big temp change for expansion/contraction, I had it backwards back there:
