It`s simple and beautiful. Thank you. Regards, Igor.

@tube4vigor Thank you Igor, Cyril

This is fascinating. I always wondered why nobody made a Stirling with a metal diaphragm, rather than using a power piston, that way the forces of friction are reduced, while the deformation on the diaphragm with as a spring, so not totally lost ( as in case of friction) One thing I would have done different than you: the magnets I would arrange in a pole shape to reduce the air drag to the max ( although you have some holes in it to reduce resistance). This is awesome work you did.

@AlBarathur  Thanks for the kind comments, Happy new year. Cyril :)

I have to admit, I have been over and over your videos and cant decipher how the generator would alternate current. The videos do not show enough of the coil wiring for me to understand how they are connected. If anyone that reads this can help I would appreciate it.

@jeeplvr2000 I will be putting some more information on my channel in a week or two so I if I were you I would wait and see, Regards Cyril

Please can you explain me if your engine is made in this way, i.e. is the resonant frequency of the two parts (piston/displacer) the same or not ? and more important is there a mechanical coupling between the two ? it is not so easy to understand watching this last video.

Thank you so much for your help,

Best regards,

Emilio.

The two systems (piston and displacer) are not connected in any way, and the correct phase angle between the two objects must be created by the pressure changes inside the engine while it is working.

Hello, I am an Italian experimenter, I have just built a free piston engine very similar to those made by sunpower & Infinia Inc. but obviously my machine was made at home and is simpler than those machines...

The problem I have is the following: The engine do not work !

I build the engine in a way that the mechanical resonant frequency (mass/spring) of the power piston is exactly the same as that of the displacer mass/spring, and is 56 Hz .

Hi Cyril. This project has inspired me to try a similar free piston design. Is a snifter valve necessary for this design to work? All the best.

[rickwesson]

I'm very impressed. Looking forward to hearing how you built it.

please explain haw Is made the part on the top of the displacer ...

i don,t understand haw work. thank you.

@barumman

Is the part on the displacer top end a kind of spring?
