To much torque and no longer in operation, replaced by solar tech. Drawing in reference on

In March of this year (2012), we delivered a cogeneration system using a Stirling engine that can obtain electricity and hot water using biomass such as thinned wood and waste wood as fuel. This is a stand-alone system that can generate 3kW (max) of electricity and hot water without using any power from the power company. We hope that it will be one of the triggers for recovery from the earthquake.

It's noticable that it is dated as batteries are used as energy storage, a real bad choice. Compressed air storage, cheap, long lasting.

Something similar, that seems like some kind of workshop with a neat typical alpha setup so he could do away with all the extra levers..
