Hi
Since last year there is a company in Spain that is manufacturing and selling the 4 cilinder double acting Whispergen system in Europe through several distributors.
I know they are producing hundreds per month but their production for this year is fully sold to germany, holland, UK and France.

They do not sell the engine solely but the complete micro-cogeneration unit.

If you are looking to install it in your car it cannot compete with ICE’s
anyhow,its a 100 years tech and not even a single manf??

the ones in your link ask 100,000 us dollars!!!
and doesn’t look like its made out of gold.. (-;

if someone know of a non home manufacture I’ll
be more then glade to hear from you (up to 20k)
even a prototype will do.

thanks

A lot of people are asking the same thing! The problem is that they just can’t compete with ICE’s in terms of price, power/weight ratio, and ability to increase/decrease power output quickly.

It’s also a chicken and egg problem: The more you sell the better they get due to more development budget and the price comes down, but to sell them the price needs to come down and they need to perform at least as well as an ICE.

But the Stirlings have an ace card, they can use any hot temperature source, and it’s unavoidable that for this reason they will become major players as less fossil fuel is used and more energy is generated using solar heat, biomass, etc.

There are some companies that sell Stirlings. Here’s a page I made listing them:

Why is it so difficult to find a ready made stirling engine for sale?
not the model ones!
do you know if there is a company that sell such an engine (1kw-50kw)?

thank you
