[RE-wrenches] Infinia Stirling linear alternators generators

[Darryl Thayer]

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.

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.
