Stirling engine R/C model car

I first learned about Stirling Engines in 2004 or 2005. That was about the time that I became really concerned about the energy problem. If these people in Washington actually want to solve any problems, instead of making things worse, which is what they usually do, just hook one of these up to a heat source. You can run an automobile with one of these things.

During the so called "Energy Crisis" of the seventies, Ford experimented with Stirling Engines. They have a disadvantage in that they take awhile to warm up. But if you hook them up to a battery, they can charge the battery, you see. Then the car can be an electric Stirling hybrid.

Of course, you could also hook one up to an e-cat, which seems to produce energy.
