It is my understanding that Stirling engines would generate more
power at altitude. Has anyone given thought to using them in
aviation?

Response to Stirling engines for the third world
<t><br/> After reading about the technical innovations surrounding Whispertech's Stirling engine (a wobble yoke that reduces internal wear and tear apparently), it seems that wear and tear on seals and guides limits the operational life of the engine. Thus wouldn't you have to take the thing apart e...

Response to General questions from a new guy.
I'm interested in a related question. If the Stirling engine works on a temperature differential then if the cold end was 'really' cold then the hot end wouldn't need to be that hot in order for it to generate power, would it?
