Response to Stirling engines for the third world

<t>There's nothing wrong with the Diesel engine as evidenced by their domination of the <br/> markets in most developing areas of the world. But I think it unfair to declare that Stirling <br/> engines are a failed technology that can not and will not be able to compete in segments <br/> of the mark...

Response to Stirling engines for the third world

<r>Joe,<br/> <br/> The closest anyone's come to a high tech Stirling CHP is probably Sunpower's 1 KW engine. <br/> Microgen was formed in the UK to put a gas fired system into place usine the engine but <br/> closed down early this year. Sunpower is working on getting the engine into mass <br/> prod...

Response to Stirling engines for the third world

<r>How easy it is to make judgements about something with only a superficial view and no <br/> real understanding of what's actually going on. Judging a book by its cover is never a great <br/> idea.<br/> I think it's unfortunate that some are willing to simply blankly dismiss the Stirling Engine's ...
