	Stirling engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Notably, some are in hot pursuit of the rotary Stirling engine; the goal is to convert power from the Stirling cycle directly into torque, a similar goal to that of the design of the rotary combustion engine.
		Stirling engines that run on small temperature differentials are quite large for the amount of power that they produce, due to the heat exchangers.
		Robert Stirling's innovative contribution of 1816 was what he called the 'Economiser' now known as the regenerator which acts to retain heat in the hot portion of the engine as the air passes to the cold part and thus improve the efficiency.

	Stirling Energy Systems Inc. - What is a Stirling Engine?
		Stirling engines are unique heat engines because their theoretical efficiency is nearly equal to their theoretical maximum efficiency, known as the Carnot Cycle efficiency.
		Stirling engines are powered by the expansion of a gas when heated, followed by the compression of the gas when cooled.
		The Stirling cycle uses an external heat source, which could be anything from gasoline to solar energy to the heat produced by decaying plants.

		Stirling's Draka books are among the more disturbing science fiction works I have ever read, which is one measure of how good they are.
		Stirling makes it all work, partly because the ruthless Draka are complex, believable characters, with their own code of ethics and honor.

	Howstuffworks "How Stirling Engines Work"
		The Stirling engine is a heat engine that is vastly different from the internal-combustion engine in your car.
		Invented by Robert Stirling in 1816, the Stirling engine has the potential to be much more efficient than a gasoline or diesel engine.
		But today, Stirling engines are used only in some very specialized applications, like in submarines or auxiliary power generators for yachts, where quiet operation is important.
