Shuttling Gas. Unlike typical internal combustion engines, the Stirling engine is powered by heat from an external source. In the Ford-Philips design (see diagram), hydrogen gas is heated by a burner, which can run on virtually any kind of fuel. The sealed-in hydrogen then expands, enters one cylinder and pushes a sliding piston. As the piston moves, it forces gas out of the other end of the cylinder; the emerging gas is cooled and then moves toward an adjacent cylinder where heat is applied once more and the process is repeated. As the gas shuttles between interconnected cylinders...
