The goal of the project is to spark infrastructure independent energy solutions - the stirling engine is flexible enough to run off of any type of heat (gas, wood, solar, etc). Sti…

I don't know of anyone providing a working engine for $250 at this time - you can find desktop models that run off of coffee cups but don't do real work. The industrial models cost…

Thats what we saw and why we started the project - just not enough solutions for real world requirements. The engine itself is somewhat simple, its the thermodynamics that are tric…

Yes, I'm the typist - just trying to lighten the mood a bit.

Correct - this is just the piece that turns heat into work. The rest electrical system and fire box / solar concentrator comes latter.

There is no money back guarantee, it is a gamble, although we feel its a pretty good gamble.

We've given some thought to this - one idea we are kicking around is embedding a heat capacitor in the engine, kind of like a battery for heat so that we can even out the heat inpu…

Appreciate the feedback. I'm going to have to give that typist a tough tongue lashing !

Your right, there would need to be a storage device in the system - this is just the first piece that coverts the heat to work - The temperature range we are designing to is about …

Lets hope not - we did complete a working prototype, proving out the mechanics, linkages, and feasibility. We are pretty close to budget on the full sized model - bearings may take…

Hi, thanks for the question - The fuel source intended for the Volo Engine is some type of biomass - for the biomass the plan is to use a gassifier to get the heat out of the bioma…
