Stirling Engines
Use a parabolic reflection system to power a Stirling engine without steam. http://www.stirlingenergy.com/technology/suncatcher.asp Sun catcher Stirling engine design as described in popular mechanics 2008 December. Sun catcher patent http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/7134279/fulltext.html Use a 3-D laser scanner to scan every screw, nut, bolt and curve on the Stirling engine into Autocad then publish the design somewhere on the internet.

Stirling vehicle engine with molten salt
http://www.stirlingengine.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=00005C&topic_id=Power-producing+Stirling+engines&topic=

OUR company SONCNA-ENERGIJA d.o.o. in SLOVENIA produced Parabolic Aluminium Mirror "PALMIR" base dimensions 2020 x 1165 mm with FOCAL lenght 750 mm. On FOCUS we have high temperature VACUUM ABSORBER made from INOX metal tube, protected with BOROSILICATE GLASS tube. The maximum temperature can be reached up to 400 degre celsius. If you use high temperature synthetic oil you can heat molten salt up to 350 degree celsius.This temperature can be used for running STIRLING MOTOR, for absorbtion cooling or steam production. I think we will must wait some time that somebody will use this kind of heat energy to run cars. The base problem is in STIRLING motor which must reach high efficiency (30%). In USA somebody have a patent. He patented that 1 dm3 special material will be heated to 3000 degre celsius and put in the car,which can transfer this temperature to mechanic work. He said that car can drive with this energy cca 600 mils. I think we will see this prototype after 20 years. by Igor Hrovatic

Multiple stirling engine designs
The rotary action of the Stirling engine turns an alternator generating electricity. Multiple Stirling engine/AC currents are combined from multiple parabolic reflection systems into an inverter for 380v and 240volts to power farm pumps etc.
