I'd be really tempted to put one of these on a CPU. Could have it power a fan and dissipate the heat, or power a dynamo and recapture the energy.

make it into a watch lol

Exactly! Get a copper heat condenser and hook it up to the stirling! It's not a lot of electricity, but it can be used ANYWHERE, not just in sunlit/windy/or near running water areas. It would be GREAT here in Arizona.

crazy idea here ^ ^
get a big solar panel (black ones that get really hot quick)
put copper piping all under the panels to a central pad, place one of these (large scale) on it and let it run!! it wont catch all the energy the panels loose, but most of it will convert to electricity.

Did you put it in the Fridge before recording this?
-
i would think so but you would need some sort of cooling. either you would need a very big sterling engine or a very small waste source.
-
How fast could you get it going if you were really nervous?
-
There has got to be some sort of use for a technology like that. I take it the amount of power output would be quite low. However, imagine a bigger one running off a thermal vent, sunlight or anything that makes heat.

@jugaslt not reliable enough, not enough of a temp difference.
other than that it would be grat
-
@jugaslt no, it needs a temperature difference, inside the body, the temperature is constant.
@Klutech yea like fresh cow crap :D

I wonder if this could run on decomposing organic matter, which generates heat as well.
