from the first through the thirteenth quarters; thereafter, reporting was changed to a Semiannual format.

This report summarizes the study of high-power kinematic Stirling engines for transportation use, testing of Mod I and Mod II Stirling engines, and component development activities. Mod II development testing included performance, emissions, and noise as well as the impact of varying regenerator porosity, working gas, and heater head geometry. Mod I engines were used for Mod II component development and to obtain independent party (U.S. Air Force) evaluation of Stirling engine vehicle performance •
