Ah-ha, I see what your doing. The problem of the "regenerator" in stirling engines is a serious issue. Quite interesting approache to hybredizing an electronic circuit, with pelter juctions, and a working fluid. In reference to "expansion valves" take a look in "Mark's" its a reference book for mechanical enineering. In Marks check,-the definition of what is called "wire-drawing"... Also have you ever heard of what is called "thermo-acustic cooling"? Seems to me it was on the cover of physics today(magazine) in the early 90's. Would be iteresting to incorperate some moving parts in reference to the regenerator, and your electronic hybridization ideas. Keep at it, Nice work...

Soooooo, basically your saying that a standard oil-filled automotive style spark-ignition coil's, ALWAY's get warm over-time(in operation) regardless of the DC pulse-train being fed-and-collapsed into it, (again)regardless of secondary high-voltage induction, resistance heat-losses in the electrical-circuit... Let alone the best layered anti-hysteris techniques, that may be applied in the reluctor-core (attempt to reduce induction-heating in flux medium). And... It "is" interesting that simular DC pulse-trains may in-fact produce a "cooling effect" with relation to 'thermo-acustics devices'.

However, what I am suggesting is that there are devices and methods available today that where not available before, to reduce losses and produce a new device for power control that may not have been suggested before. It's how you look at it, this post is just a simple examination and experiment in thought, it has produced interesting results already, as you are aware, we are now putting to use in circuits things that have not been thought of being put together to produce a new device. With new technology perhaps it's time to look at some of those old devices that where efficient like the heat pump, refrigeration system and yes even the Stirling... BUt what I am doing is attempting to show how this could be done.
So has it accomplished a goal? I believe so, and should be looked at seriously for what that concept holds.
