A tesla turbine pump could be powered by the stirling itself.Perhaps pump the water up higher and let it free fall and air-cool back down to the water chamber.
@studioLivingDead I would like my next engine to power its own water pump. Unfortunately, I don't think this engine has enough power to run its own pump. I'll take a look at Tesla turbines, thanks.
@VBioreactorBydlo I don't remember the exact measurement and run times, but I would say around 85 degrees after five to ten minutes of run time. I remember being surprised how quickly the water heated up.
Nice job by the way.It runs smooth.

What is doing the work to pump the water through your heat exchanger?
