5 rolling marbles act as the displacer in this engine. The rigid connection between the piston and conrod is what tips the test tube, rolling the marbles and displacing the air from the hot end to the cold end

  • Wrap the tube with copper, replace marbles with a rod of magnetically charged material you might have a easy way to directly convert thermal dynamically genorated energy to usable current! ball bearings under magnetic rod to reduce friction? Add two one way valves you could tranfer this energy into a burst of air which could propel a air ribbon type genorator? or maybe incorparate water inplace of marbles, place a small ac hydro turbine in the middle of the tube? Just a few ideas.
