A variant of the Fluidyne: the liquid piston ERICSSON engine

A special configuration of Stirling liquid piston engine, known as Fluidyne, was invented fifty years ago and many works have been devoted to it since then. A variant of the Fluidyne is presented, in which the two ends of the U-tube containing the liquid piston are closed by valves, so that the syst...
