Oct 11, 2008 - i am probably wrong, but i thought they were using the idea of a parabola to concentrate the rays.

Oct 11, 2008 - what i don't understand, is that, does the sterling engine not nessesarly run off of heat, but it runs off of "heat differential"? so if you put the whole unit in the oven, would it work?

dinewalton Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - i have a window AC, when it runs, it blows hot air out the back straight into the atmosphere. for a long time i have been thinking if you can capture that heat and convert it back to useable energy. maybe the sterling engin can be powered by the hot air of a AC unit, which can then power a generator, and feed the AC unit partially, where making the whole cooling system more efficient, and reduce the amout of heat released into the atmosphere.

Oct 11, 2008 - This technology has been around since the early 70's , and made the cover of popular science magazine. It has been suppressed all these years by big oil. This invention has merit, but like all other great inventions for free energy, they get bought up and snuffed out by the fossil fuel industry. The movie "Who killed the electric car" is a prime example!

Oct 11, 2008 - Free after set up. Theres no such thing as free energy, if you consider the startup cost. The point is to produce energy that surpasses the startup cost in value.

jerktrucker Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - I don't believe it can be done.

Oct 11, 2008 - You may note, they're claiming free "energy" not free materials or construction.Obviously it's going to cost money to build and maintain. But you don't have to pay for sunlight - the energy it runs off of.

Mos6502 Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - There's a German company that uses the waste heat from furnaces to run sterling engines to power generators. The electricity produced is sold back to the electric company.I don't think the hot air exhaust of an AC unit would contain enough energy to do any useful work though.

Oct 11, 2008 - 1 unit can power 10 homes for 25 k,so you figure thats 10 Americans with 1 years worth of a average tax return then there energy free, off the grid.This will only work if we all contribute information and awareness,truly left up to each and every one of us.See but we are all to quick to discount out own impact,this whole concept can move as fast as a thought,so whats your thought, beneficial or non-beneficial? PAIN

Oct 11, 2008 - I'm guessing your talking about a larger version... didn't he say that this produces 30kw a day which is the same as the average use of an American home? I think that lots of smaller units would be safer and more efficient... no energy transport, no loss, no dependency on a central system...

iponuall Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - where do I buy one?

MarkFromHawaii Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - Now THIS is good. Sterling Energy Systems (SES) and Infina are actually manufacturing these. SES is working with Southern Cal utlities to develop large scale plants. Infinia is after the residential/commercial buidling market.

Oct 11, 2008 - The million-dollar question is, does it produce enough torque to turn a generator motor? I'm not doubting the technology, it's just that I have yet to see one of these videos actually show one producing usable electricity. I hope they do, because it's a brilliant idea!

rdmedic71 Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - Is there a formula to gauge HP or Torque that can be produce from a sterling engine? Example: Solar collector size to diameter of engine, length of piston chamber, gears, pulleys, and so on....? I'm not an engineer; Just a curious person? Does anyone know of a message board or group that discusses their do's and don'ts in building these machines?

OptimusGonzoo Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - yeah, could we get an update on this thing, I mean its just a prototype, and I haven't heard anything about it since it was posted here in this video...

enyawix Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - is that engine for sale yet?

owenander Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - google stirling energy systems

mojokiss Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - yeah let me know too. i wanna know if its worth the hope

keysersozae Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - This all sounds great, but in the end it is completely impractical nonsense. None of this will ever actually be applied/see the mass market.

garbizwal Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - You must be hiding under a rock hu? They are practical and are starting to be used as we speak. Do us all a favor and quit being such a pessimist!

keysersozae Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - It's the truth. To be honest, our best bet would be a switch to nuclear power plants across the board along with electric cars.

garbizwal Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - No its not were do you get you info from a crackerjack box? Man youtube realy brings out alot of loosers! Do some reaserch before you post next time they are building these in mass scale for 2009 for cali as we speek. This is the most eficent way of catching solar power we have so far and it is 100% clean not like nuclear that has waste that has a toxic shelf life of 40 000 or more years!

keysersozae Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - lol...keep fantasizing about your solar pipe dream; we'll see where we are in 5 years.
