ABSTRACT:
A balanced crankshaft mechanism for the two piston Stirling engine which permits the use of a single crankpin and eliminates side forces on the pistons. A triangular yoke has connected to its respective apexes the connecting rods for each piston and the crankpin. One end of a rocking lever is connected to said yoke at a point between the points at which the connecting rods are attached. The other end of said rocking lever is connected to the base of the machine. As the crankpin rotates, the separate connecting rods and their respective pistons are moved with a phase relation appropriate for a two piston Stirling engine, and side forces are absorbed by the rocking lever, rather than by the pistons. A simple means of balancing the reciprocating inertial forces is described, which is also applicable to other types of Stirling engines.
