The http://www.genesis-scientific.org/energy_apps.htm thing
is more in line with the direction I am going down (unfortunately it looks to be
only in the very beginning stages of commercial development). 60-70kWh per
day is the targeted system size.
Wandering into this project about as green
as they come (pardon the pun). I started my research with this as a system
baseline: http://www.realgoods.com/renew/shop/product.cfm/dp/1800/sd/1804/ts/2012239
At the very least I think I can start
with one of these http://www.dakacorp.com/furnaces_prod.cfm as
a heat source platform ($720 for the unit at Menards, maybe another $2-300 to
pipe it into the ductworks and water heater) and responsibly feed it http://logjamforestproducts.com/ ($4.50/box).
That immediately supplements/replaces my natural gas dependence for space and
water heating. Next step would be to construct a windmill-type low speed
dynamo http://www.otherpower.com/pmg2.html and
belt drive it with a Stirling two cylinder http://www.keveney.com/Vstirling.html.
This approach should create a non-exotic,
viable, discrete platform on which alternate power generation and
heat source sub-systems can be developed and tested. Best of all it leaves my traditional grid
components in place as backup.
