Solar Stirling Engine
I first heard about them when they tried it with cooling computers.
But then I saw a bunch of real ones that work on YouTube; http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...g&search_type=
Then I saw this article today on building one at home; http://www.garageretreat.com/article...tirling_Engine
Anyone here built one? Seems easy.
I have heard you can convert an engine to be a stirling engine or what about putting a small one on the car engine to run off its heat?

Re: Solar Stirling Engine
I like THIS ONE better. It's the real future power source for our cars. The 300 HP version debuts next week...
