Thermoacoustic Stirling Generator Built By China

<p>Despite owning several conventional power generators over many years I didn&rsquo;t know that Stirling engine electricity generators were built, almost commercially, by Philips. They could not be manufactured cheaply enough to compete with internal combustion models as they face manufacturing challenges due to material requirements for containing high-pressure gas.</p> <p>In case you&rsquo;re wondering what a Stirling Engine is, it&rsquo;s an engine which uses an external source of heat to produce mechanical energy, as compared with an internal combustion engine (your car if not electric) which uses heat&nbsp;<em>inside</em>&nbsp;the cylinders to produce mechanical energy.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/the-dock-on-the-bay/thermoacoustic-stirling-generator-built-by-china-5fb8b07ddc71"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
