Abstract
A Stirling engine includes a plurality of α-type Stirling cycle mechanisms, each of which includes a first piston and a second piston and pressurizes a crankcase space. The mechanisms are coupled to each other via a common rotary shaft so that each of the mechanisms generates a torque variation waveform in which the number of periods per rotation is two.
