is it running off of the cold tempurature of the water or is it running off of a flame?

[caloric16]

All the engines are heated by propane gas and river water cooled

English version of those fast Bonqa Boats out in the Phillippines. Or the dragon boats of Thailand and Singapore waters. Still a bit interesting taking a fire out there with ya on the water.

Instead of using propane gas, you should make a rug with a lens that focuses the suns rays to it.

when they make boats with engines like this and solar powered it'll be totaly badass

[Dirtboy101]

I would never think that a Stirling engine would have enough tork to handle that type of load. Very nice.

It looks like a lot of fun! Have you ever tried to use solar power?
