A while back I did a form on power a Stirling on (lower power) heat source that was not sufficient for electoral power.
Now I am back with new idea can you make a custom Stirling engine using magnesium burned as fuel to power 10KW of power?
What health precautions will you take ( Magnesium Oxide)?
Reputable machine shop to create the parts (have to withstand high temperatures?
Any thoughts appreciated?
