The first Lenoir engines were also double acting, just like steam engine...
......... I assume you are talking about the pulse jet engines. I remember in my primary school days, some of the local model aircraft enthusiasts first got one. We could hear it in our back yard, about a mile from the football oval they were flying on.
When heat is applied to a surface of the metal, the amplitude of the jiggling of atoms near that surface increases, and the collisions with the surrounding atoms increases their jiggling and so on, to transfer the heat through the solid metal. So long as there is a temperature difference, heat continues to be transferred. But the atoms do essentially stay in their space in the lattice.
