You may have better luck if you use Stirling engine as your search string. In fact several proponents and hobby makers of Stirling pumps frequent this forum. Stirlingman is one that comes to mind. There is one guy out west that offers plans to make a Stirling engine pump or generator. Sorry, I lost the link when virus destroyed my computer.
