Mr. Kamen said in an article that the principal they were working on was based on Boyle's law and another one that is related to it that is often mentioned in conjunction with it. I can't remember it right off hand right now, but you will find it in:

MSN Encarta's online encyclopedia.

It has to do with temperature and pressure and thier ratios as they change within a cilyndrical chamber. It's pretty cool. I think my father might have mentioned it to me once or twice in his own approach on the Stirling engine puzzle. He's a font of information but I won't give you his number. I don't think he'd appreciate a bunch of teenagers calling him up out of the blue.

You will also find it in:

J.D. Bernal's "A History of Classical Physics"

Good starting point for a general overview. It helps to give an understanding of how one discovery leads to another and how so many things we do today go right back to the ancients. Regrettably the illustrator got the Egyptian glyphs backwards in one of the figures (Oops!). But the point is still effectively made with the illustration.

Barnes & Noble might still have it.
