Stirling Engines
webcentivewebcentive - home
Stirling engines turn any outside heat source, such as sunlight, a wood fire, waste heat or even a nuclear reactor, into motion or electricity, quietly and with few moving parts. NASA's Kilopower reactor used Stirling converters in its 2018 KRUSTY ground test; Sandia tested solar dish Stirling systems that set solar-to-grid efficiency records. For off-grid homes, small Stirling generators and Stirling micro-CHP boilers exist but are expensive and specialized, so compare them with solar, wind and generators first. Makers and shops below are commercial.
