Solar Stirling Engine Technology

Parabolic reflectors are used to focus the sun's energy into the end point of the cylinder, where gas expands and pushes the piston to do the work. Solar Stirling Engine Technology is part of the study of external combustion engines. It is based on converting thermal energy to mechanical energy: For this case, the source is solar energy. During cloudy days, alcohol can be used as an external source of energy.
