I think the heater and cooler are in the wrong places.
They should be at the cylinders, instead of in the tube between them.
Heat input should stop (or slow down) when hot cylinder has low gas volume.
Heat output should stop (or slow down) when cold cylinder has low gas volume.

Hi again!
Because I left such an extensive reply in November, I wanted to share with you that I got my latest alpha engine running yesterday. I posted a video on my site. Good luck with your next project!

I did. It helped a bit, but the model wasn’t very refined at that point. After it was built I created a much better mathematical model to predict engine performance. I’ll use that for my next engine.

i like your project, before designing an alpha engine, did you use some mathematical calculation?

thanks.
