Anyone familiar with Theromacoustic Stirling Heat Engines (TASHEs)? No moving parts - just oscillating high pressure helium gas available to do your bidding (aka "mechanical work"). My company primarily uses them in combination with Pulse Tube Cryo-coolers (no moving parts there either). Lots of interesting applications. Fun to think of what the lifespan of these devices might be - hundreds of years? Thousands?
The originally poster was clearly just trolling for some reason. I suppose I've taken the bait as well...
