ABSTRACT A multi-cylinder hot gas engine having an equal angle, V-shaped engine block 11 in which two banks of parallel, equal length, equally-sized cylinders 12 are formed together with annular regenerator/cooler units 13 and 14 surrounding each cylinder, and wherein the pistons 17 are connected to a single crankshaft 23. The hot gas engine further includes annularly arrayed heater tubes 27 disposed around a central circular combustor volume 37. Balanced-flow expansion manifold assembly 15 and regener- ator manifold assembly 16 provide optimum balanced flow of the hot working fluid through the heater head tubes which are connected between each pair of manifolds and their respectively associated cylinders and annular regenerator units. This balanced flow provides even heater head temperatures and, therefore, maximum average working fluid temperature for best operating efficiency with the use of a single crankshaft V-shaped engine block.
