Abstract
A method for limiting the amplitude of reciprocation of a piston reciprocating in a cylinder of a free-piston Stirling engine. The method is the combination of both at least partially covering the heat rejecter cylinder port by the piston sidewall during a peak part of the inward reciprocation of the piston and at least partially covering the heat rejecter cylinder port by the displacer sidewall during a peak part of the outward reciprocation of the displacer. The piston and the displacer, at times during their reciprocation, fully cover the effective heat rejecter cylinder port when the piston amplitude of reciprocation is large and approaches the physical limit of the amplitude of reciprocation in order to avoid internal collisions by a reciprocating component.
