So it is a modified sterling engine, combined with a peasieoelectric generator? I love this idea. Keep up the good work. The overall design looks like it needs to be reengineered but I cant seem to put my finger on the main problem maybe its the placement of the pesieoelectric martial.

For high power they need to replace the piezoelectric converter on the TAC with a proper magnetic generator actually able to produce kilo-watts of power - significantly more than most solar panels. A sealed for life (low maintenance) prototype that can simply be attached to someone's equipment is needed. Get its picture into a few magazines.

Problem with these engines / converters is the very low efficiency. They are simply no match for the existing stirling engines, even though those are more complex.
Also, your presentation is incorrect in places, very one sided, and almost misleading in other parts.
The technology is good, but not as rosy as you make it here.

no they can be more efficient to 70% man. read the books. Really they are the best.

I read many books, and 70%? No way.

Name me one book and 1 product that does it.
If you can not, stop cheating.

This is a thermoacoustic stirling engine yes?
It seems very similar to recent thermoacoustic designs.
