What are specs about this engine? Who made it? Fluid inside?Amazing stuff! This is real greene energy!

so how do i get to work on one of those things?? doesnt look like theres much room for shopping either. whats its top speed? no no i dont think this is going to work at all

Here is a way that a residential house could effectively store solar energy during the five hours of good sunshine, to last for the full twenty-four hours. Use a hydraulic elevator system lifting a very heavy weight, where the energy is stored by the gravity of the weight. When the sun goes down,or when more power is needed during the five hours of good sunshine, the very heavy weight movement is reversed and the hydraulics is used to generate power.

Where can I buy a Stirling Engine? Anyone got any reasonably-priced sources?Thanks.

Hey guys I'm in west leederville in Australia I have spare time I can do the labor and scavenge to help make this, also I have a computer science degree, get in touch!

This is beautiful man, thankyou so much for providing inspiration.

OK idea for a 1870's Scotsman isn't it!,I saw a simpler heat engine and was fascinating to see,could one or more of these be used to utilise waste heat in central heating/ power stations maybe?. Keep up the good work!

Surely some kind of Stirling turbine would have higher efficiency? We seem to be fixated on pistons..

problem is we would need an alternate source for night and cloudy days which i don't see why we don't make hybrid cars of electricity and solarpower?
