Dean Kamen’s Stirling Generator

Post by jimlarsen »

One of the most frequently asked questions I receive has to do with building a Stirling engine generator. This appears to be some of the best news about Stirling Engine Generators that we have seen in a long time. Dean Kamen has developed a $3,700 generator that can make about 1 Kw.

Here is what is said about the generator at DEKA Research, Dean Kamen's company. It sounds like it is not in production yet. They don't say much about it.

Jim

Thank you for posting the links to these development projects.

Unfortunately nothing has been seen or heard of the Stirling Cycle engines since being published in, 2008 for the Red Ferret report and 2009 for the Kamen press release. It begs the question " are these projects still active", my guess would be that they are not.
