Recently, DEKA developed a concept for a highly efficient Sterling engine (updated to conform to 21st century engineering and materials standards). I note that Randy Mills has mentioned the use of the BLP with a Sterling engine serveral times. I think there is probably opportunities for DEKA and BLP to do something together.
DEKA's sterling engine http://www.dekaresearch.com/coreTech.html currently has a limited life span due to the fact that the heating element wears out. My thoughts would be that a BLP thermal generator could be substitued (almost immediately) to fit in one of the DEKA's sterling engines .. I think there are a couple of different models.
My thought is that coupling BLP with a sterling engine would make a pretty good (reliable and smooth) electrical generator. It would make for very low cost electrolysis mechanism.
Its worth giving Randy a heads up on this.
