Response to Stirling engines used to generate electricity from wood burning stoves

Yes but it is still only 800 watts. Surely modern technology can do
better than that. You would think the manufacturers would have worked
a little harder to match the output to an average home's needs or is
the Stirling Engine not capable of producing the 10kW or so to power a
house?
Does anybody know just how much output one can get from the Stirling
Engine? Is there an upper limit or a size beyond which it doesn't
work? What is the biggest one built to date?
