ABSTRACT:
A Stirling engine has power transmitting connecting rods which slideably extend through diametral apertures in the pistons. A double-acting Stirling engine having center-actuated pistons eliminates the piston rods protruding through the end wall of the cylinders. The reciprocating piston motion is transmitted outside the cylinder by a piston rod extending transversely through the piston and cylinder wall to a connecting means journaled to receive the crank throw of a single crankshaft. The hot ends of the engine cylinders are all arranged about the central heat source, and the cool ends are all mechanically distant and thermally isolated from the heat source and crankcase, thus simplifying the cooling requirements of the engine.
