...........No. A Stirling engine as a cooler has to be purpose designed and none of my models deal with cryogenic Stirling theorys. Best let the big boy commercial intrests explore these types.
........Not necessarily, not even as a technical consideration in this scale. Recipricating mass is overwhelmed by flywheel mass for smooth running. And the THREE engine has a small dia. flywheel in relation to overall model size.
That would be a condition of where taped. I video my models on my oak entertainment center which is essentualy a box open on one side. Models sit on top of a wood kitchen turntable. No attemp made to mask the camera microphone which is 2 feet from subject. With no backround noise or soundtrack ,everytime that piston comes down...........its like a knock on the door!
...........There is no advantage in performance here. The efficiencys and principles of Stirling construction still apply. This models 3 cyl. format shows some versatility in configuration that I haven't seen presented by other modelers here on the "TUBE".
Phenomenal! Do you do the machining yourself? It's beautiful.

If you change the timing of the second displacer, and remove the heat there, will it act as a cooler?

I think You should use 2 power pistons .
More means less vibration

I like your engine designs, but they're all so noisy.

is there any advantage in performance over using a single displacer per cylinder?

VERY COOL

That is amazing. Incorporating a fan is a good idea too.

Thanks FM777. The fan is there for eye candy rather than functional cooling. It does draw air across the radiators though.
