A full theoretical model of a low-temperature differential Stirling engine is developed in the current paper. The model, which starts from the first principles, gives a full differential description of the major components of the engine: the behaviour of the gas in the expansion and the compression spaces; the behaviour of the gas in the regenerator; the dynamic behaviour of the displacer; and the power piston/flywheel assembly. A small fully instrumented engine is used to validate the model. The theoretical model is in good agreement with the experimental data, and describes well all features exhibited by the engine.
