Abstract

A hydraulic drive system operating from the periodic pressure wave produced by a Stirling engine along a first axis thereof and effecting transfer of power from the Stirling engine to a load apparatus therefor and wherein the movable, or working member of the load apparatus is reciprocatingly driven along an axis substantially at right angles to the first axis to achieve an arrangement of a Stirling engine and load apparatus assembly which is much shorter and the components of the load apparatus more readily accessible.

Dynamically balanced, hydraulically driven compressor/pump apparatus for resonant free piston Stirling engines

Patent Corey, John A

A compressor, pump, or alternator apparatus is designed for use with a resonant free piston Stirling engine so as to isolate apparatus fluid from the periodically pressurized working fluid of the Stirling engine. The apparatus housing has a first side closed by a power coupling flexible diaphragm (the engine working member) and a second side closed by a flexible diaphragm gas spring. A reciprocally movable piston is disposed in a transverse cylinder in the housing and moves substantially at right angles relative to the flexible diaphragms. An incompressible fluid fills the housing which is divided into two separate chambers bymore »« less

Multi-phase linear alternator driven by free-piston Stirling engine

Patent Berchowitz, D M ; Redlich, R W

This patent describes an improved AC electrical power generating source of the type wherein a free piston Stirling engine drive a linear alternator via a power piston. The linear alternator has a first armature coil member and a first magnetic flux source member magnetically linked to and relatively reciprocable with respect to the first coil member, one of the members being drivingly linked to the power piston of the engine. The improvement provides multi-phase output power and comprises: a body mounted for reciprocation and drivingly linked through a spring to be driven by the power piston, and a second armaturemore »« less
Variable cycle stirling engine and gas leakage control system therefor

Patent Otters, J

An improved thermal engine of the type having a displacer body movable between the hot end and the cold end of a chamber for subjecting a fluid within that chamber to a thermodynamic cycle and having a work piston driven by the fluid for deriving a useful work output. The work piston pumps a hydraulic fluid and a hydraulic control valve is connected in line with the hydraulic output conduit such that the flow of hydraulic fluid may be restricted to any desired degree or stopped altogether. The work piston can therefore be controlled by means of a controller devicemore »« less
