[Gasification] Precer Biomass Hybrid Car (Stirling Engine)

[Tom Miles]

I thought the pellet fueled Stirling ultimately moving an attractive vehicle
was a good trick which is why I posted the link. 

They imply from their website that they will also apply this to home power
generation. If you buy wood pellets for $5/40 lb bag and the fuel to
electricity conversion is 17% then the fuel cost $0.31/kWh. Add the cost of
the generator. . .but it's fun!
