12 Double Acting Cylinders
both the hot side and the cold side are on one shaft and doing work at the same time in the same direction.
4 Power strokes per revolution
Since the inner cylinder of each row of cylinders is 180° apart of the 2 outer cylinders, you only get 4 independant power strokes per revolution.
0 Vibration with 3 Banks of Cylinders
Rombic Drive to minimize friction and side force on cylinder walls.
3 Banks of 4 Cylinders aranged in a "W" configuration 60° apart.
