Abstract: A monolithic heat exchanger body for inputting heat to a closed-cycle engine includes heating walls and heat sink, such as heat transfer regions. The heating walls are configured and arranged in an array of spirals or spiral arcs relative to a longitudinal axis of an inlet plenum. Adjacent portions of the heating walls respectively define corresponding heating fluid pathways fluidly communicating with the inlet plenum. At least a portion of the heat sink is disposed about at least a portion of the monolithic heat exchanger body. The heat sink includes working-fluid bodies including working-fluid pathways that have a heat transfer relationship with the heating fluid pathways. Respective ones of the heat transfer regions have a heat transfer relationship with a corresponding semiannular portion of the heating fluid pathways. Respective ones of the heat transfer regions include working-fluid pathways fluidly communicating between a heat input region and a heat extraction region.

Abstract: This Stirling machine comprises a transfer piston (6, 6a) and a moving part (14) of a generator or of an electric motor, the transfer piston (6, 6a) periodically displacing a working gas between an expansion chamber (VE) and a compression chamber (Vc) which chambers are respectively associated with two working faces of the transfer piston (6, 6a) of which the cross-sectional area ratio ac/aE is >0.35 so that its displacement along an axis X oriented towards the expansion volume (VE) generates an in-phase working gas pressure component Px that opposes the displacement of the piston (6, 6a), so that all of the mechanical energy produced is transmitted to the moving part (14). This machine comprises a resonant second piston (10) coupled to the transfer piston (6, 6a) by a quantity of energy that is proportional to the pressure component Px.

Abstract: A Stirling engine in which a working space is communicated with a working gas tank through a minimum cycle pressure line having an accelerating valve and a one-way valve and a maximum cycle pressure line having a decelerating valve and a one-way valve is provided with a starting apparatus including a bypass valve provided between the two pressure lines. When the engine is to be started, the bypass valve is opened and a starting motor is set into operation. The bypass valve is closed immediately after the Stirling engine starts, thus enabling the engine to quickly begin operating in a self-supporting manner.

Abstract: An annular venturi burner assembly and Stirling engine. The annular venturi burner injects fuel into combustion air flowing axial through an port with an annular cross section. The fuel enters the annular cross-section from the outside diameter. The flow of air through the annular section creates suction that draws the fuel through the ports. An venturi bushing directs the flow of fuel to provides improved and more uniform mixing of fuel and air.
