Abstract:
A power piston mechanism for a Stirling cycle engine for operation with a Stirling engine regenerator gas system, including an outer body having a chamber rotatably carried therein on a chamber axle; a power rotor confined in the chamber, the rotor being generally elongated, and having a rotor axle for rotation parallel to the chamber axle; a double eccentric gear train from the rotor to the outer body; a regenerator gas input port in the outer body for feeding gas from the regenerator gas system into the chamber and a regenerator gas exhaust port in said outer body for feeding gas from said chamber to the regenerator gas system, whereby high temperature gas from the regenerator gas system, fed to the chamber, causes rotation of the rotor which drives the chamber in rotation in the outer body producing a shaft output from the chamber axle and spent gas flow from the chamber which is returned to the regenerator gas system. In another embodiment the heating and cooling sources are contained in the outer body.
