That's rather obscurely and incompletely explained on the Web site, being
that purveyors of perpetual motion cannot, of necessity, be too specific
about how it is achieved.

But if you're correct about the helium and Stirling, then so much the more
is this made not credible.

Hmmm. I actually find the following explanation a pretty good
description of the principle, if we assume the reader knows the
Stirling cycle. I cannot comment on the suitability of CO2 in the
secondary circuit, but it seems clear that the primary circuit is a
Sirling engine with helium as a working medium, and that the CO2 is
used to transport heat from the refigerated area to the Stirling
engine.
