As the displacer moves up and down it is not at a linear speed since it is connected via a rod to a rotating piece. This means it moves at a sinusoidal speed if you graph it (I think) since, l...

<t>Does anyone know if using the rotating motion of the LTD pancake <br/> type displacer make the engine more or less efficient than a linear <br/> motion would be? In other words, with the LTD the displacer has a <br/> TDC and a BDC so it is transferring air from one side of the <br/> displacer to ...
