Stirling Engine with Ross yoke

Andy Ross, a prominent Stirling engine experimenter, invented the linkage illustrated here.3  The engine is identical in operation to the two cylinder Stirling. In this illustration, the left cylinder is the hot cylinder.

The linkage allows the engine to be more compact and reduces side loads on the pistons and connecting rods (since their travel is almost linear).
