NASA didn't? Gee, that will be a surprise to everyone that worked on the Stirling engine project that successfully transitioned the completed technology into commercial application years ago. And it will be a real surprise to all the people at Sunpower Inc that have been selling Stirling engines based on the NASA-developed technology for nearly a decade.
