I've been trying to convince him of that, but there's no talking sense into that Baker guy.



Seriously though, nothing fun is easy. Breaking the sound barrier was once "impossible", too.

Re: Sterling Engine..........just another 'IT'

i rather enjoyed the article.

my roommate made (from scratch) a small model stirling engine....it works rather well. it will run off the heat of your hand, sunlight, an ice cube, or anything else that is relatively hot or cold.

i've also looked a lot into research others have done on making stirling engines more practical, and i am excited to see dean putting so much effort into them!


as for the original posters views, i think its safe to say he is in the minority on his opinion so lets not make a big deal about it...
