Actually, this is not a new idea... Here is a gramophone powered by a stirling hot-air motor. This one is a Paillard “Maestrophone No. 205″ gramophone manufactured in Switzerland between 1910 and 1914. Also, Geoff Hudspith, UK inventor and steam enthusiast has built a steam powered gramophone to play records at the various steam fairs he attends. The following link will take you to the steam page, scroll down to the bottom of the page to see videos of both machines: http://lostbiro.com/blog/index.php?paged=2&s=youtube
