A positive displacement compressor designed for near isothermal compression. A rotor includes a curved sealing portion that coincides with a in an interior rotor casing wall. Liquid injectors provide cooling liquid. A gate moves within the compression chamber to either make contact with or be proximate to the rotor as it turns. Gate positioning systems position the gate in this manner, taking into account the shape of the rotor. Outlet valves allow for expulsion of liquids and compressed gas. The unique geometry and relationship between the parts provides for efficiencies and higher pressures not previously found in existing compressor designs.

The present invention relates to a Stirling engine in which power is generated using a variation in pressure generated by continuously performing periodical heating and cooling operations when a heat transfer medium is stored in a sealed inner space. The Stirling engine generates power for rotating an output shaft ( 12 ) through the expansion and contraction of the heat transfer medium sealed and received in a space partitioned by a baffle ( 40 ) within an inner space ( 21 ) of a housing ( 20 ). Thus, when compared to the prior art, the Stirling engine of the present invention may be more easily manufactured. Also, the heat transfer medium for generating power may be easily managed, maintained, and repaired. In addition, since the heat circulation structure is simple, the Stirling engine of the present invention can achieve relatively higher thermal efficiency than those of the prior art.
