i like the idea...we really need to conserve energy because global warming can already be felt to these days. Global warming and its horrible effects scares me.

"utilising a technology you've never seen before!" Really? Robert Stirling 1816.

Interesting how a company that is pro-"free energy" has the Edison name. Spare a thought for Nikola Tesla. If you don't know who he was then you should find out. Seriously! Thomas Edison electrocuted elephants and stray dogs in front of the public in order to discredit Tesla's AC current, that we all depend upon today. Tesla knew about free energy and harnessed it, but his eventual association with JP Morgan lead to his assassination as "free energy" can't be metered.....

@sjh7132 All heat engines have a maximum efficiency based off of the temperature difference on each side of the engine. They can never reach 100% but they are extremely efficient when you consider that you are converting heat to mechanical energy. I think they reached ~70% efficiency from these systems a few years ago on a clear winter day.

@Allante715 20% solar + 70% nuclear + 10% coal = 20% improvement compared to nothing. You don't run the moment you were born. You first crawl, walk, run and finally learn how to jump.

If they have wheels, they can move around everywhere avoiding cloudy areas. Wind power generators may also have wheels and move around to take in wind energy. Water stream are only fluctuating around seasons, water power turbine and wind power turbines can be combined as well and they might be able to move around using steel cables to relocate to high volume stream locations.

Solar as a horrible capacity factor. Your little 2.5kW unit may sound great until you realize its capacity factor is less then 20 percent. What does this mean? Basically you are only going to reach 2.5KW 20 percent of the time. Nuclear on the other hand has a 90 percent capacity factor.

Holy crappers, SE's are becoming big business!
I shall build a company to deliver the power of Stirling engines to the masses! :D

I'd luv to kiss my local power company "Good Bye" or at least reduce my purchases from them.

how about a 2.5 kw unit in your back yard ?no middleman.

Swedish submarines run on stirling engines (for silence). They are also used as commercial
cryocoolers. (Stirling engines, not the subs...)
