Claims to have lower maintenance costs, simple operation, and high reliability. Their design could also be adapted to any heat source, but works best with flammable gases in the current setup. http://www.stmpower.com/

In other words, a small scale version of this: http://www.stirlingenergy.com/ http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,69528-0.html I posted about the WhisperGen a couple of years ago:

If people are going to waste precious fossil fuels like Natural Gas on heating their drafty stucco box, they might as well generate distributed power while they are at it. http://www.whispergen.com/ Learn about the revolutionary, patented WhisperGenâ„¢ Personal Power Station... A micro combined heat and power (microCHP) system based on a Stirling external combustion engine. Quiet, clean burning and extremely efficient, the WhisperGenâ„¢ is changing the way electricity is distributed throughout the world.

Now if we do something about global warming, we'll also have streams to run these on... Great news, I love this guy…this will considerably extend the field of application of microhydro.
