sorry to be a stickler, but can you give me more info please?
Because i've looked into this stuff: Solar concentrator Stirlings generally convert around 23%-27% of the sunlight into energy. If they really converted 50%, people wouldn't be bothering with solar photovoltaics.
your 50% figure might be something like 'thermal efficiency', which is a completely different concept.
You may be interested in the "Suncube" photovoltaic solar tracker (website: greenandgoldenergy. com. au) that recorded a 34.1% peak efficiency only a few months after the SES's solar stirling record.
It looks like a "Reflective Stirling" vs "Fresnel Lens Photovoltaic" efficiency competition is afoot! :D
like type of solar energy?

wat energy is related to electromagnets? oh and nice vid

are you sure that compressed hydrogen filled Stirling engines are more efficient than solar panels?
Coz i know solar panels that are over 30% efficient.
I don't know any Stirling engine that efficient.

some sterling engines are almost 50% efficient.

i tried to send you some links twice but they failed both times.
"your 50% figure might be something like 'thermal efficiency', which is a completely different concept."
your right, i am confusing the two concepts ^.^'
look up appendix B solar sterling engine. they have an energy conversion efficiency of 31.25%
"If they really converted 50%, people wouldn't be bothering with solar photovoltaics."
they would if the economics were more feasable with photovoltaics.

Thankyou very much. Very impressive!

Great video, a message that needs to be heard.
