  • I have yet to see one of these that can produce enough force to do anything remotely useful. I just cant see that thing turning a generator.

  • @sirtom68 Baxi have a heating system using a stirling engine (produces 1kw). Sunpower make 75w to 7.5kw for power generation (been selling them for sometime). One type of submarine use them for silent running power. cleanergyindustries also sell 9kw producing stirling engine.

  • where is the power?

  • The sun.

  • Amps (short for amperes) are what current is measured in, I think you'll find voltage is its own unit.

  • @sirtom68 Check out Infina. You can search it in You Tube or Google. They are not selling to private owners but they do have machines that will put out a significant amount of power. Cheers

  • Very nice! I like the parabolic reflector built on the engine.

  • The power of nuclear fusion!

  • like the coaxial piston set up

  • @sirtom68 infact in arozona they started an experiment with a farm of these that generate 25kw each..

  • I like that as the engine speeds up it begins to sound like a plane. That must take a lot of power!

  • evidently twisted gentleman doesn't take his reading too seriously. There are real submarines that use stirling engines. The drawback is they are very expensive.

  • Power enough to heat the water for an steam engine? May be a good solution.

  • I think you guys are reading too deep into this. Stirling engines are basically model ships for technical minded people. They're charming toys, not free power solutions.

    Arguing one way or the other is missing the point.
