Dear Ken and other Stirling enthusiasts I am offering to have a go at producing a small 250 watt (electrical) output biomass fired engine on condition it is a public design (unencumbered by intellectual property rights). We at New Dawn have been looking for years for a suitable design but lacked the contacts. Perhaps a member of the association would be willing to assist a developing country like ours have a go at making an appropriate example of alternative power. The Renewable Energy Association of Swaziland (REASWA) would also like to be involved in dissemination. We need 250 to 500 watts to compete with PV on remote pumping applications. The PV systems are also 'out of reach' on generally only installed when a grant is made. The use of preheated primary and secondary air in our stoves may well be applied to Stirling engines to good effect.
