This is the first semiannual technical progress report prepared under the automotive Stirling Engine Development Program; it covers the fourteenth and fifteenth quarters of activity after award of the contract. Quarterly technical progress reports reported program activities from the first quarter through the thirteenth quarter; thereafter, reporting was changed to a semiannual format. This report summarizes activities performed on Mod I engine testing and test results, progress in manufacturing, assembling and testing of a Mod I engine in the United States, P-40 Stirling engine dynamometer and multifuels testing, analog/digital controls system testing, Stirling reference engine manufacturing and reduced size studies, components and subsystems, computer code development activities. The overall program philosophy is outlined, and data and results are presented.
