Sterling engines have much promise. Perhaps now that the cost of
photovoltaic is less than solar thermal, the sterling engine
manfactuing capacity aimed for that market can be channeled toward
other applications.

Here is a most interesting quote: "Our new Traveling Wave Stirling
engine has only one piston and no displacer. Frankly we aren't sure
why it works. It's new, it's exciting, and there is no obvious reason
(even to us) why it works. The main cylinder is made from quartz
glass so you can see everything that's inside."

"With only one piston, we aren't really sure why this works. It's
amazing!"
