The following photos show the sequence of Alpha Stirling engine operation:
Notes:
1. In fact the two cylinders are not mechanically coupled using a belt (not practical) but I used belt here for explanation purpose.
2. The flame logo represents the heat source.
3. There is a heat regenerator in the passage connecting the two cylinders.
4. Not all Alpha Striling engines have the same configuration.
