Ok great thanks for the help! I'll start there and see how far I can get.

Thanks for the responses so far. I am still wondering if there are certain dimensions I need that are required to get the engine to function? Or can I just start designing the engine how I want it to look, as long as piston sizes etc are similar to other beta engines that already work? Hawke posted ...

Isn't it a beta engine that I'm interested in? Because both of the pistons occupy the same cylinder?

Do those same same 6 points apply to beta engines as well though?

Hello everyone, I took a mechanical engineering course over the summer for an elective and learned how to use solid works. I've become interested in stirling engines and would like to design one, but am having a hard time on finding specific relationships and ratios on the internet for a beta type e...
