Free Piston Stirling Engine - New prototype (2008)

Some years ago a renewed interest in free-piston Stirling engine converters (FPSE) for use in
space power applications was demonstrated by NASA.
It combines a simple design and very high efficiency. On the other hand, these systems are demonstrating long life capability with low maintenance.
At RR Energy, we think that such a engine could be built at low cost for rural development. Many people are not connected to the grid in developing countries, and they often have a stove running all day long for different purposes. The heat lost would be converted into electricity with such a device to load a battery. The aimed output is about 50W, which can provide sufficient energy for a household (halogen lamps + computer).

or better, exceed energy can be saved with a flywheel energy storage,/ exellent work dude, i want to make one too, but i don't know what is better, a bellow or a piston for the power piston side : /, thank you for all ...:)

I get the importance of this; if you could power things like computers and lights with only a single candle or more, then you could really help those who are not connected to the grid and which then have a hard time communicating with the outside.

This is really promising!
