Ok Makers, here's a excerpt from MAKE 07 - The Two-Can Stirling Engine by William Gurstelle. The Stirling engine has long captivated inventors and dreamers. Here are complete plans for building and operating a two-cylinder model that runs on almost any high-temperature heat source. Page 90 - Link (PDF).
This PDF should show up in iTunes too (click here to subscribe). And... if you didn't get MAKE 07 yet, here's a link that will give you an additional $5 off (USD) subscription.

Love Stirling engines, would be interested to know how well this would would perform in reverse, applying an electric motor, would it produce much cooling?

This would be a cool project to make. However, the PDF only goes to page 93, while the instructions begin on page 94.

mikiex, yes they work in reverse. Several cryogenic coolers out there are based on Stirling Engines, and Coleman has a more conventional model.
