Introduction
Known as Hot air engine
Earlier abandoned due to development
of superior power-to-weight engines
Remained as academic interest due to
its unique feature during 19th century
In 1938, N.V.Philips developed small gas
refrigerating machine for production of
liquefied gases
In 1953, Stirling engine with an efficiency
of 40% with specific power of 82 kW/l was
invented

Difference
The fuel do not enter the engine cylinder
to become the working gas.
The cyclic flow of working fluid within the
engine is achieved solely through
geometric volume changes and without
the use of intermittently-closed valves or
ports.
Difference
An intermittent flow heat exchanger
stores a large portion of heat of the
working fluid after expansion and
subsequently returns it to the working
fluid after compression, thereby,
accomplishing thermal regeneration.

Two
crankshafts
rotating in opposite
directions.
Rhombic drive
Two synchronizing
gears for timing the
shafts.
Symmetry
makes
even single cylinder
engine balanced.
No horizontal thrust
as
forces
are
balanced at yoke.
Hence low frictional
losses too.
14
Engine parts
Combustor and
heater head.
Regenerator.
Cooler.
Power piston and
displacer piston
assembly.
Buffer space and
the rhombic drive.

Advantages
Disadvantages
Complex design due to use of
rhombic
drive,
regenerators,
heaters and coolers.
Needs a large amount of cooling
water which increases the size of
the radiator.
High cost.
Requires a blower which reduces
the engine efficiency and increases
the noise.
