Abstract

The RemoteGen^TM family of free-piston Stirling generators has been developed specifically to circumvent previously encountered commercialization barriers by providing long life, high reliability, cost effective mass production and market relevance. These generators have demonstrated major advances in life and reliability for high-efficiency dynamic power systems. Design innovations enable the 350 W RG-350 to be manufactured in various quantities for costs that are consistent with reasonable market pricing over a broad range of markets. The authors have a high level of confidence that the confluence of these factors will result in successful commercialization of Stirling cycle engines
