    "Displacer-type Stirling Engine Instead of having two pistons, a displacer-type engine has one piston and a displacer. The displacer serves to control when the gas chamber is heated and when it is cooled. This type of Stirling engine is sometimes used in classroom demonstrations. You can even buy a kit to build one yourself!"

  • mirrored solar dish that looks like a home satellite receiver, and produces 3.5 kilowatts of energy
  • Using its Stirling engine technology, Inifnia thinks it can eventually produce electricity 20 to 30 percent cheaper than today’s existing solar panels. And in times of peak energy demand—on a hot summer day, for instance—it could even be competitive with electricity from gas-powered or coal-fired plants.

    300 years after its invention, Stirling engines are coming to stay... and probably take a nice share of the Solar Power market. the cost perspective is also quite attractive. these structures cost now around $20 000 against 50 to $100 000 3 years ago.

  • On a perfect New Mexico winter day — with the sky almost 10 percent brighter than usual — Sandia National Laboratories and Stirling Energy Systems (SES) set a new solar-to-grid system conversion efficiency record by achieving a 31.25 percent net efficiency rate. The old 1984 record of 29.4 percent was toppled Jan. 31 on SES’s “Serial #3” solar dish Stirling system at Sandia’s National Solar Thermal Test Facility.

    "Boeing et Stirling Energy Systems (SES) ont formé un partenariat stratégique afin de commercialiser le panneau photovoltaïque à haute concentration de l'avionneur. XR700, c'est son nom, concentrerait les rayons du soleil d'un facteur 700 et présenterait un rendement record de 41,6%. A titre de comparaison, les panneaux commercialisés aujourd'hui ne dépassent pas des rendements supérieurs à 20%."
