ABSTRACT:
A crankdrive mechanism for the two piston Stirling engine which greatly reduces engine size and weight without increasing complexity or decreasing mechanical efficiency. A single throw crankshaft is located between the cylinders and within the reciprocation limits of at least one of the pistons. An inverted triangular yoke connects the single crankpin with the two connecting rods, which are in turn connected with the respective pistons. A rocking lever connects the yoke with the engine housing and absorbs any side loads associated with the crankdrive mechanism. Extensive clearance provided between the cylinders and in the pistons permits the engine parts to be arranged in a very compact manner with ample running clearance.
