Re: Sterling Engine To be used to power spacecraft

it all depends on the effeceny of the system. the best solar pannels are at most 30-40 percent effecent, so if you can get a system that works at a greater effency then it would be worth it, even though there is quite alot of solar energy...


personally if it was me i would just make a really long extention cord and drop it to the earth so someone could plug in.....
