Quite a while ago (18 years [as part of my degree]) we were trying to get a liquid piston Stirling engine (no solid moving parts) working .The idea was to have it powered by solar radiation and to run an irrigation pump . However we never got it to run successfully. Was just wondering if anyone had a link to a working version . Or indeed a link to one being used

For me too
Thanks for these David, the one we tried to get to run had NO moving parts (not even a "rocking" action ). Maybe one doesn't exist as it was highly theoretical anyway, as I said just plain curiosity, was wondering the other night if anything ever came of it. If I learn how to post to my personal web space I would draw it and post the link (I am ***** at ascii art)
try this one - the one at the bootm of the article has only the check valves as moving parts.
and in german
