	* biomass: heat can be derived from combustion or from [[pyrolysis]], where [[biochar]] would be a useful, carbon-negative byproduct. With biomass-powered Stirling engine, one single engine could handle all sorts of different biomass, whether solid, liquid or gaseous. There is no need for tedious clean-up of fuel.		* biomass: heat can be derived from combustion or from [[pyrolysis]], where [[biochar]] would be a useful, carbon-negative byproduct.

	From MJ - Regarding the Stirling engine, that is not one of our [[GVCS 50]] technologies, so we are less interested in that - unless we are convinced that a practical model that can put out at least 100 watts of usable power from a small solar concentrator or biomass heat source. I understand that Stirling engines are more challenging to make work than modern steam engines based on the track record that Stirling engines never gained wide use, while steam engines were the backbone of the industrial revolution. For this reason - we are pursuing a modern version of a historically disruptive technology - the modern steam engine. We are currently building the [[Hadden Engine]]. However, I am quite open to collaboration on the stirling if someone can convince me, based on technical merit, that we can have a reliable product within a 3 year time frame that meets OSE specifications of lifetime design and low cost. This is possible but more challenging than the modern steam engine route. However, [[Dean Kamen]]'s third world Stirling engine product appears to show that the feasibility is there - the question being - is it sufficiently simple, cost effective, and robust to meet [[OSE Specifications]]. - Nov 13, 2012		From MJ - Regarding the Stirling engine, that is not one of our [[GVCS 50]] technologies, so we are less interested in that - unless we are convinced that a practical model that can put out at least 100 watts of usable power from a small solar concentrator or biomass heat source.

	A [[Stirling Engine]] can operate quietly from any heat source to generate mechanical power (work). It ~~operates by~~ operates by cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas, the working fluid, at different temperature levels such that there is a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work. It can be coupled directly to a hydraulic transmission, although only a handful of projects have explored this possibility over the decades.
