Re: 200W Stirling Engine Help

Riz,
Each has its own system to build the engine, depending on their capacity building, with their money, and fuel or other factor that want to use.
The Stirling engine is extremely variable as the form and architecture.
An example of the past, that gave exactly 220 W was the "Philips Bungalow Set", architecture-beta (not the best for me, because it is only partially pressurized, so requires an internal compressor). Beta architecture is however quite complex mechanically.
If you want an idea of the relationship between displacement, pressure and power, to look on the net the "Beale formula." an empirical formula that is based on many engines built, and by displacement, and a coefficient of "quality construction" of the engine, gives you the power that "historically" was be extracted in said conditions.
The excel sheet is not protected and thus careful not to damage functions.
A book was very useful to understand the experiences made by Andy Ross "Macking Stirling engines", the text seems to me chew on the Web.
Ciao
