Re: Spark plugs or diesel glow plugs as a heat source?

few years ago,

I read, somewhere ( in the internet ), about stirling engine using spark plugs.

which end is the cold end

Hi and best regards to you all,

when using stirling engine, alpha type, as a fridge, i.e using a motor to run stirling engine.

how to know, which end of stirling engine is the cold end, without touching the engine

or using thermometer?. is there any rules for that?.

Thank you.
