The characteristics of the V-type high temperature Stirling engine

V-type high temperature Stirling engine which is a kind of high temperature difference model Stirling engine is manufactured and its characteristics are measured at some temperature differences. Pressure, displacer position and rotation speed are measured. Displacer position and rotation speed are detected by photo-sensor. The hot side of V-type high temperature Stirling engine is heated by electric heater. The cold side of V-type high temperature Stirling engine is cooled by the air. This result may be useful for further design and manufacture of Ringbom Stirling engine. Also, it would be used as an educational material for mechanical engineering students
