Response to sunlight powered Stirling engine feasible?
try solar absorbtion panels: modern ones absorb 90% available radiation - this can raise air temp to 250 deg C on sunny days, but also works on cloudy days as infra red is also absorbed.

Response to Stirling engines for the third world
<t>One comment about solar energy capture- modern vaccum insulated glass tubes with appropriate heat absorbers can exceed 90% efficiency of absorbtion from solar, and work on infrared as well as visible light. Temperatures of 250 deg C can be achived. This is far better than PV..use the heat for Sti...
