This paper reports on accomplishments in 2004 in (1) development of Stirling‐convertor CFD models at NASA GRC and via a NASA grant, (2) a Stirling regenerator‐research effort being conducted via a NASA grant (a follow‐on effort to an earlier DOE contract), and (3) a regenerator‐microfabrication contract for development of a “next‐generation Stirling regenerator.” Cleveland State University is the lead organization for all three grant/contractual efforts, with the University of Minnesota and Gedeon Associates as subcontractors. Also, the Stirling Technology Co. and Sunpower, Inc. are both involved in all three efforts, either as funded or unfunded participants. International Mezzo Technologies of Baton Rouge, LA is the regenerator fabricator for the regenerator‐microfabrication contract. Results of the efforts in these three areas are summarized.
