stirling generator to power house?

[kallstrom_74]

i was just woundering a thing about stirling motors (generators)....can the stirling be driven by eleticty heating?...like this:the powerline that comes in to the house..just funktion as a "heater" to the stirling... that generates the REST of the power to the house? would that be cheaper or much more expencive than orinary eletricity?

I think the really big problem is how the Sterling unit would produce electrical energy output and then of course, comes the question (assuming you have a great answer for the how part) "Would it produce more electrical output than you were feeding in?"

Solve those problems with an overunity "YES" answer and you might just be in business!  In a very big way!
