A contributor to experiments that use a Stirling engine to demonstrate both a heat engine and refrigeration. Driving the apparatus mechanically reverses its function: instead of extracting work from a temperature difference, it moves heat between regions. The same machine therefore connects two thermodynamic operating modes.[ref]
