The Fuel-Free piston engines of Aesop Energy, LLC, may be useful to those interested in using LENR to produce electricity.
At least one LENR company is developing a Stirling engine, which almost certainly is a high-tech design, in order to be powerful and efficient. Still, it is Carnot limited and will have an actual efficiency below its Carnot efficiency. It also must reject heat as a waste product. Efficiency will undoubtedly be below 50% and may be much less. AESOP Energy piston engines are not Carnot limited. The high temperatures developed by LENR will push the materials envelope to state-of-the-art, high-tech science & technology. High temperature Stirlings will be expensive. The Stirling & heat generator combination will also require waste heat exchangers to dissipate unused heat. Where electric power is the goal, the use of Aesop Energy's Fuel-Free Engines could streamline LENR development time and ultimate product costs. The Aesop engines are low to medium tech and are likely to be less costly to manufacture. They may be no more expensive and need less R&D development time and materials to prove. No waste heat exchangers are necessary. Getting the heat into AESOP Energy’s Fuel-Free engines at elevated input temperatures, will be relatively easy.
