<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">This is similar to the sterling engines by Volvo used in the NREL dish sterling work. they set a record of 35% DNI to electricity. Note I said DNI so this machine was meant for clear sky desert areas. I think the lead researcher was named Richard Diver? The NREL project used a liquid sodium heat transfer from the target to the head of the sterling engine. The cool side of the engine used a truck radiator and a fan. The dish diameter was 35 feet. It ran mostly in the high 20% range DNI sun to electricity. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Also at one time there was a linear Sterling engine that ran from a Flame to ambient the linear engine uses a magnetic piston going back and forth inside a coil of wire. The magnetic piston was a free piston engine like the diesel pile drivers. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Nov 23, 2018 at 5:23 PM Starlight Solar Power Systems <<a href="mailto:larry@starlightsolar.com">larry@starlightsolar.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Does anyone have information, technical or otherwise, on Infinia 3kW Stirling generators as shown in this photo? <br><div>
