Solar Stirling Engine
I first heard about them when they tried it with cooling computers.

But then I saw a bunch of real ones that work on YouTube; http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...g&search_type=

Then I saw this article today on building one at home; http://www.garageretreat.com/article...tirling_Engine

Anyone here built one? Seems easy.

I have heard you can convert an engine to be a stirling engine or what about putting a small one on the car engine to run off its heat?

Here's what mine is going to look like when I get it installed. I only drive on sunny days, but I still have to work on the overpass problem.
