    i like the versatility of heat inputs this engine offers. i imagine that it could also be coupled to a thermal energy storage device such as a solar heated brick/gravel/sand battery etc. Though i don’t understand how to pressurize the engine, which appears necessary to implement in order to achieve its full electricity generating potential.

      Can’t say for sure on this one but most use a Schrader valve like any tire does and most sterling engines use air as the fluid although helium works better.

    I love the concepts, but I don’t see how many watts of energy this is putting out. They are not producing much product, I would be very slow about buying, but they are moving in the right direction.

      @Marthale7 Here’s a link with more info. The engines look to produce 300-1200 watts.

        Yeah I looked at another video, they look to be in the same place they were 6 years ago. I would like to see independent testing of their device. I do like the idea of combining a waste oil burner with a stirling engine.
