Regenerator design in a gamma type engine

From what I have found during my research is that some gamma type engines have their regenerator incorporated in the transfer port between the power and displacer cylinder. The transfer port can be filled with a wire matrix or can consists of micro channels to have a larger surface area. However, I ...

Some questions for my first engine

Hi all, I am going to build my first Stirling engine (Gamma type) which will be solar powered and which will drive an electric generator to charge mobile phones for instance. Since I have learned about Stirling engines, I became very interested in this type of engine but never had a chance to design...

Re: "Hi" We are new here!

Heya all,

I am a mechanical engineering student who is very interested in Stirling Engines. Going to design and build my first engine prototype for my project.
Glad I found this great forum! And looking forward to interact with you guys.
