The Stirling engine is also known as a hot air engine. It is a type of heat engine with an external combustion engine. The heat exchange process allows the conversion of heat into mechanical motion to be close to ideal efficiency. (With the practical application of the Carnot cycle) It was invented by the Scottish priest the Reverend Robert Stirling in 1816. His brother James Stirling, who later became an engineer, continued the development of the engine. The inventors envisioned creating a reliable alternative to the steam engines of the time. Steam engine boilers frequently exploded due to insufficient use of materials and high steam pressure. Stirling engines would convert temperature difference directly into motion
Other Stirling engine variants are derivative versions of these fundamentals. These are the Alpha type stirling engine, the Beta type stirling engine and the Gamma type stirling engine. It consists of two pistons, a flywheel, a closed gas chamber with pistons, heat exchangers, heat generator and a flywheel.
