The only question, then, is how much power it would develop - enough to turn a generator? I don't know. As i understand it producing much in the way of torque is a real issue for Stirling engines... as yet i have no idea on figures or anything like that but i imagine something could be done with th...

Well i never claimed it was perfect ;)

I was tottering around the internet the other night when a rather interesting idea struck me... Would it be possible/feasible to build a Generator (Most likely 12v or so, bit scared of bodging up a 240v supply :shaking: ) Using a Stirling engine as the driving force. If you're not sure what a Stirli...

I have seen people recommen...
