…Kockums Stirling engines; Kawasaki stated that the system increased their underwater endurance. Stirling engines have been developed for dish-based concentrated solar power systems. In a dish/Stirling system, a concentrating reflector focuses solar radiation onto a thermal receiver, which supplies heat to a Stirling engine…
