Abstract: An energy conversion system which utilizes magneto-hydrodynamics for energy based on the Stirling cycle without any moving parts. The energy conversion system generally includes a containment chamber which includes no moving parts. A compressible gas traverses through four distinct sections of the containment chamber to allow for energy conversion based on the Stirling cycle. The first section performs constant volume heating of the medium, the second section performs isothermal expansion of the medium, the third section performs constant volume cooling of the medium, and the fourth section performs isothermal compression of the medium. Electrical conductors installed within the containment chamber and magnetic field placed adjacent to the electric conductors within the containment chamber will extract electrical energy from the moving compressed ionized gas (CIG) using the principle of magneto-hydrodynamics.
