Water pump stirling engine integrated regenerator.wmv

Here is an animation idee of my next improved water pump stirling engine with integrated regenerator (the green marked lid will force the air to go through the regenerator pipes how are integrated inside the moving displacer). Also all air chambers will have a overpressure how is as mutch as the pump hight. In example pump hight will be ~3.5meter above when +135Celcius heat is applyed on top.

dont think it will work well... since water have the habit of trying to equalize pressure... all ur tanks might be full of water before it can do any pumping

@ohguowei If you concern about evaporating of water in the displacer tank I could tell that I have notice both teoretical and empiric (practical) test that water evapotation is not an issue, because all vapor will condense to water on the cold side of displacer and then the condensed water fall down. So the air will be rather dry, when the machine is warm and running. The bottom peek of pressure is even more far away IN THIS CONFIGURATION from the water boilng point at coolant temperature.

@ohguowei Maybee after several days week or mounth all 3 air chamber probably have to be refilled/adjust with little air just like an ordenary water/air pressure tank? I have only run my test engines for about up to 6 hour after fill up with water.

I look forward to seeing it run!
