    Anyone thought of combining solar water heater with Stirling generator?

    It sure is possible you can get motion out of a flate plate collector i used a flate plate collector + LTD stirling engine, it runs. Check it out on video google under solar engine or link to http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6257236920067550362
