If radiative cooling technology, such as

were coupled to thermoelectric materials or to a sterling engine then
electricity could be generated.

A diesel with double turbo loader is above 50% efficiency. You will
never get there with a sterling motor in a reasonable temperature range.
Key is to extract all kinetic energy in a gas explosion what cannot be
done with a sterling motor. But you can run a sterling motor even with
burning
The most interesting new - but actually old - engine development (esp. for
those who think LENR has a future in transportation) is the re-emergence of the
Stilrling design. This engine design and the Brayton cycle, in general, never
made the grade for commercialization - before now, at least.

As I recall, the last attempts to compete with Diesel engines was with
steam turbines. This source says the Union Pacific actually made two steam
turbine locomotives, and
Thanks.
So it was a "gag".

The changing dreamscape.
We don't really know how steam engines would have evolved because they were
out-competed by diesel engines.
The steam engine really became obsolete because it was incapable of turning
*particular* dreams into reality.

I take it I'm the only Vort with first-hand experience with these old beasts.
My grandfather was a brakeman on the Union Pacific railroad when I was a little
boy. Back then, while all the passenger trains were diesel-electric, a lot of
the freight haulers were still steam. Old Gramps would take
Live steam. No upper temperature limit. Steam jet flays tissue right
off bones, chars bones.Also, OST Buster Keaton inertial compensators,
for infinite-acceleration brakes, back when Star Trek was still in
the silent film era, and only had one warp nacelle, painted black.

In this short clip Buster Keaton lights a cigarette by pressing it against
the boiler of a steam locomotive.
Would the surface of the boiler get hot enough to do that?
