Yes - and technically if an active LENR material could be used in conjunction with a hudrogen gas-phase Stirling device - then it would replace the so-called "recuperator" or "regenerator" in a 'lamina flow' or thermoacoustic design - not the normal Stirling design. In this design there is acoustic resonance and only one speed. http://www.stirlingengines.org.uk/thermo/lamina.html There are youtube videos of this (for the non LENR implementation) - ... search for "lamina Stirling' Jones
