Stirling Engine Cutaway Model AM 553

The Stirling engine is a closed cycle heat engine. It is typically completely sealed from the outside environment and works on the expansion and compression of the gas (typically air) that’s enclosed in the sealed engine. Fuel does not move through the engine like in a conventional internal combustion engine. This means that there is no intake or exhaust.
