The piston is made of aluminum, it is constructed with separate pieces bolted together for cost reduction reasons. The seals are silicone rubber O-rings, lubricated with silicone grease. The displacer is oscillating in a rotation movement, it is actuated by a motor to be able to vary velocity parameters. Once the optimal motion will be determined, the electrical actuation will be replaced by an appropriate mechanical linkage. The displacer is made of expanded polyurethane foam and an aluminum framework. Heater and cooler are base on fin-tube structures. Fins are made of aluminum, and the tubes are made of copper The regenerator is a modular element that can be pulled out and changed easily. Regenerator and heat exchangers have the same dimensions. Six different material have been studied for the regenerator. The best results are obtained with mild steel wool.
