<t>I want to point out that the Engine Sunpower<br/> designed for the USAID project in Bangladesh was not the ST-5.

<t>Merrick Lockwood's analysis of the entire RHEP (Rick Husk Energy Project) is just plain <br/> wrong!<br/> <br/> And his analysis of the problems that the Stirling Technology ST-5 Engine nothing but his <br/> own fabrication of events and problems.

<r>Here's a link to various photos of the ST-5 engine that I've posted on the Yahoo HAES site.<br/> These were taken around the world in various places and at various times.<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HotAirEngineSociety/photos/album/894465803/pic/list"><LINK_TEXT text="http:...

<t>Joe,<br/> <br/> Send me a sketch. Years ago, at Sunpower I designed & built a gas-fired Free Piston Stirling <br/> cooler. One piston two displacers. It worked great. But it had to have a cooler for the engine <br/> side and one for the cooler side. It would make a great 'gas fired' refrigera...

<r>I'm with William and Joe on this one.<br/> <br/> "I think it's a great idea. It absolutely could work as either a retrofit or an OEM installation. <br/> It's lazy, cynical, myopic, and fearful people like hornbaker that have kept truly <br/> groundbreaking innovations from coming to the fore.<br/...

<t>Joe,<br/> <br/> With your response to Q2; We've done serious studies and this issue and it is, of course, an <br/> important one. Much of the food grown in many places, especially Asia requires irrigation. <br/> In the Philippines and Thailand the husk from the milled rice is left as total waste....

<r>There are many working Stirling Engines both Alpha and Free piston. Some have been highly <br/> refined over the years and a few are nearing commercial production. Sunpower Inc. Has a <br/> number of really good engines but none yet commercially available to the general public. See;<br/> <URL url...

<t>The engine that Merrick Lockwood wrote his book about was originally designed by Sunpower <br/> Inc. The first Prototype was built by Sunpower and delivered to Bangladesh where Merrick <br/> lived at the time. It was part of a USAID funded project administered by the Asia Foundation <br/> in Bang...
