Great answers, keep them coming!
I think that its a combination of both. The low tolerances and the materials (withstanding; thermal fatigue, high temp, low thermal expansion). What do they currently use for the regenerator, hotside, piston, etc.?

Materials limiting the economic aspects of a Stirling engine?
<t>Hi everyone,<br/> <br/> I'm doing a materials analysis on the materials used for Stirling<br/> engines and need a place to start. What types of exotic materials are<br/> needed in stirlings? Which aspect of the engine requires these<br/> materials? What are the material specifications (thermal ex...
