That is turning into one of the more beautiful machines I've seen built. I continue watching with fascination.

Awesome...

I have a friend that is building the solar tracker... for a similar system he has had good success with the design.




I believe even if the sterling does not go... you sure could do alot with steam.


But man, I saw the wind on your videos, do wind power, you could pump the water up from that creek next to you and filter it.

Thank you for sharing your sterling, I know you are busy buiding that house of steel!

Cheers!

Here is one that is supposed to have been running since 2002:

These commercial units give an idea of the size of a 25kw unit:

This is one of the best Sterling engines I saw on youtube.

Very low maintenance, and proven design to last for so long.

Seems that it could be adapted to solar..
