Since the invention of the Fluidyne engine in 1969, several research groups have explored and described the potential of liquid-piston Stirling machine designs for a wide variety of applications, including water pumping from solar heat, simple and long-lived fossil-fuel-fired irrigation pumps, and heat-powered heat pumps. A substantial amount of theoretical work has been published, along with experimental results from a number of very different machines and design data for the construction of experimental engines. This paper describes the progress that has been made and the performance of existing systems, identifies outstanding research needs, and outlines some of the potential for further progress.
