Nice! Sterling engines are very efficient, and you get to brag that your car has an external combustion engine. They're not suitable for cars directly, because throttle response is measured in minutes. But for an APU, they would be great. I made a small sterling engine powered fan in college.

And, nice canadian tuxedo, Dean.
