AUTOMOTIVE STIRLING ENGINE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. SEMIANNUAL TECHNICAL PROGRESS REPORT, JULY 1-DECEMBER 31, 1986

The study of high power kinematic Stirling engines for transportation use, testing of Mod I and Mod II Stirling engines, and component development activities are summarized. Mod II development testing was performed to complete the development of the basic engine and begin characterization of performance. Mod I engines were used for Mod II component development and to obtain independent party (U.S. Air Force) evaluation of Stirling engine vehicle performance.
