Thanks for the pictures - I think I´ve only seen pictures and animations of low-level toy-stirlings so far. Did you see a real Gamma or Beta Stirling with a regenerator?? I never did - also not in the Stirling-Convention in London 4 years ago. Must be unpractical and too much work for such...

Hi there, yes I´m familiar with the concept of the Accumulator. But the "regenerator" is only used for the Alpha-Type style stirlings. I´ve never saw a Beta- or Gamma-Type with an extra accumulator. What I`ve read so far, it´s because the great surface of the displacer is functioning as good...

you are really ressourceful ... building Stirlings without knowing fully the principles - I wish I would have ur skills and chuzpe to do the same ... I´m a damn rooky and learning everything by myself. Build only 2 Stirlings and a thermoacoustic one, which is not really working ;)) Wish u the...

I´ve thought that the function of a displacer in a Gamma or Beta-Stirling is to buffer most of the heat and give it back later. So Aluminium would be exactly the best choice because it´s light weighted and have a real good heat-transfer. Or am I wrong?? By the way - an wonderful piece of art, Ken.
