A looped water Stirling engine which has three U-tubes was proposed by West in 1983. This device can be considered as the system composed of three driver, and three water-columns. This can be drive at the temperature difference of 60°C or less, so we can use waste heat or solar heat. We could structure the water Stirling engine and evaluated the output. As the average pressure was increased, the frequency was increased. On the other hand, the displacement amplitude was decreased and the onset temperature was decreased.
