Abstract

A combustor/recuperator assembly for use in an external combustion engine, such as a Stirling engine. The assembly comprised: a plurality of substantially hemispherical domed members positioned in nested uniaxial spaced relation, said plurality of substantially hemispherical domed members forming at least a first flow chamber and a second flow chamber, said first flow chamber for passing an incoming charge of air therethrough and said second flow chamber for passing an outgoing charge of combustion exhaust gases therethrough, wherein said second chamber is positioned to be effective to heat the incoming charge of air.
