It has heat exchange.
A Stirling engine generator falls into the category of external combustion engine. This type of engine converts heat energy to mechanical work by compressing and expanding air or other gas.
Yes. The essence of the Stirling engine is to convert heat into motion.
A Stirling engine generator is less powerful than a combustion engine, but more ecologically sustainable. It operates on heat exchange. There are many types of Stirling engines.

Variable dead-space chambers that decreased in size with the throttle request. More throttle = less dead-space allowed in the engine. Other than that, it operated like any alpha-design stirling engine. See the link below for more information on the exact design.
Stirling engine generators are environmentally friendly. The cooling fluid they use in them is helium and not freon. They are much more efficient in how they operate as well.
