Why 24hrs power and no emissions.
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?

Sure, but you really shouldn't.
This is a Stirling so reaction would be outside engine just heating the plate?
Do you have other chemicals would you experiment with for power?
This is just conceptual ideas so open to any for experimentation?
