Background
The background and purpose of this research, and the outline of developments related the Stirling engines are shown here.

Design and manufacturing of a prototype engine
This session shows the process from a basic policy to manufacturing of a protptype Stirling engine for a small portable generator.

Experiments of the engine performance
In this session, the protptype Stirling engine is worked and investigated the engine performance. Then, the accuracy of the design method is made sure after comparison the calcurated and experimental results.

Estimation of the engine performance
A simulation method which is aimed at prediction of the output power is shown here. And effectiveness of the method is considered.

Proposal of a simple prediction method
A simple prediction method is proposed under above calculated and experimental results.

Suggestion for a practical used Stirling engine
In conclusion, the ways of the practical used Stirling engine are suggested here.
