THE STIRLING CYCLE
Every heat engine
works on a cycle. When
heat is applied to a
working fluid, the fluid
undergoes some sort of
change — its pressure,
volume, or temperature
is increased by the
added heat — and in so
doing, the fluid does
meaningful work on
its surroundings. Work
could mean making
a piston move, or a
turbine, or some other
mechanical object. The
Stirling cycle is a four-
step process, using hot
air as its working fluid.
Four Steps of the Stirling Cycle

COOLING
Cold piston (left) moves
upward by flywheel iner-
tia, drawing hot air over
to cold side.
EXPANSION
Hot air is forced to the
left cylinder, forcing the
cold piston up. This is
the power cycle.
COMPRESSION
As air in the cold
water contracts,
the cold piston
moves down.
HEATING
With the cold piston
fully down, most air
is on hot side and
getting reheated.
