“Super Stirling Engine” is a Stirling engine assisted by saturated low pressure steam or compressed air of 0.2 ∼ 0.8 Mpa pressure range, which is injected into the cold side of the displacer cylinder at the top dead center of the power piston, and the steam or air expands into power cylinder at constant high temperature after passing regenerator and heater. Near the bottom dead center of the power piston, the steam or air is ejected to outside in low temperature after passing the regenerator again as same as Stirling engine. So, this engine works in the combination of Stirling cycle and steam Rankine cycle when steam is used.

“The Second Stirling Techno Rally” is held at Nov. 1998 near Tokyo. This time about 100 normal size cars (N-class) and 30 mini cars (M-class) came to the contest and got better records than last year. Moreover, for this second rally, race of manned big cars and bikes (L-class) with self made Stirling engines are taken place also, and, about ten cars came to the race. The preparation and wonderful results of this second techno rally are reported here in details. By those rallies, it is hoped that understanding and progress of Stirling engine itself will be stimulated very much towards glorious 21st century.
