    • The Sun Runner, a solar-powered Stirling Cycle Engine, offers a dramatic demonstration of energy conversion. This motor with its parabolic mirror can be attached to any conventional camera tripod. When properly aimed at the sun, incoming solar energy is focused on the heat cap of the engine and is converted to rotary motion. Each unit is test run at our factory.
      Specifications: 2,000 RPM and up, 8 1/4" long X 3" wide, 3/4 inch bore, 3 1/4" flywheel, aluminum precision castings. Parabolic Mirror is 18" diameter polished aluminum.
      Unit comes complete with motor, parabolic mirror, and wrenches. Standard camera tripod is not supplied. This engine is completely assembled and ready to run. NOTE: This engine can also run as a horizontal engine with our NO 90 alcohol burner.

Hydrogen is mostly Hype, but here are some semi-practical applications: Hydrogen-Electrolosys Fireplace - http://www.heatnglo.com/

Requires 220vac @ 60A = 13kW and 1/2 Gallon per hour.
Produces 31,000 btu/hour of heat.
