You are right Smoky,

Not only is the Stirling engine the most efficient heat engine ever built it is the most efficient motor ever built.

The problem with the Stirling engine has always been its power output, not its efficiency.

The drinking bird and the Minto wheel will never be more than toys. They are nice to play with but from a practical angle useless devices.

hans do you think a stirling engine alone could power a small home? if it was scaled-up to a bigger size? maybe a solar powered stirling or maybe a magnifying glass can help too or just build a small fire :)

is it worth it?

how can i build this with off the shelf parts? anyone want to help?

You certainly could power a small home, or a large one for that matter, with a Stirling motor and an alternator. At one time Stirling motors were mass produced and used on farms and in remote locations. They could not compete with internal combustion engines because of their size to performance ratio. Today they are used virtually only by the military and are powering submarines as well as generators. The military likes them because they run very quietly and with virtually no vibration.

There is one company that is producing a Stirling motor type generator http://www.whispergen.com/main/technology/  I don't know too much about them or what they charge for such a device.

As to building one yourself, you really would need a reasonably well equipped machine shop, off the shelf parts are really not suitable.

what if i buy off the shelf parts and take my parts to a machine shop so they can do minor cutting and welding for me? shouldn't be too expensive, i just have to find the right parts, shouldn't be so difficult.
