There are at least 5-10 different kinds of old and new stirling engines available with 30-40% efficiency using 7-800°C input temperatures. They range from 100W-30kW in capacity. So no problem doing a self-driven system with LENR COP of 3.2 Qenergy probably easiest to get a hold of (around 33%, using recently bankrupt Infinia's 3.5kW output design of which they built a fairly sizeable stirling solar dish field, so while not advertised they probably have 10's-100's of engines available now. Or could go for larger V4-90 of united sun systems (also about 32% efficient) at about 10-25kW output: http://www.unitedsunsystems.com/the-v4-90-stirling-engine/ They probably have several hundred motors sitting around from when they bought out bankrupted Stirling Energy Systems 2 years ago (they had a 75 dish field of stirling solar dishes in Maricopa AZ.
