STIRLING ENGINE: Bracebridge Fall Fair

At the Bracebridge Canada Fail Fair Sept 2006, a man explains his 1895 'stirling engine': highly efficient, long-lasting, quiet, reliable, low-maintenance, off-the-grid. Filmed by alternative energy systems engineer Barry Miller; edited by Snowshoe Documentary Films (nerak); banjo by Andy Fitzgibbon. (snowshoefilms.com)

And, I think you will find that they scrapped the Stirling generator for the more useful solar cells. End of story.

Ok, it was built in 1895, how many times was it restored?

thanks for the video

a steam engine, without the need for a boiler, quite clever, I love em and i want that one.

@FreonRose every person have his personal needs and we as humans create machines to help us in our needs, in this case the best use is to pump water.

And Still we need energy and more resources to melt it down...

What is useful to you might be usseless to anybody else.

@Konicava last time i checked that's what recycling was for and this has no real use sept to melt it down into something more useful. :)

@FreonRose be my guest if you have unlimited resources.

@cableairman Wikipedia can be edited by anyone who feels like typing whether they know the information or not. so why don't you try learning something.

@FreonRose nasa really has used these and so do some new solar plants they have lot higher efficiency than solar panels. Why don't you just take less than five minuets on Wikipedia and learn something.

Got to the NASA web site and type in "STIRLING", you will find NASA has being developing them for deep space, the moon base and even way back in the 1970's for cars. So go out and actually do some research mate. 'nough said
