i do not know the maker, i burn wood, you lose heat from curculation i have moded a dimmer switch on my fan but electricity=$ plus i dont wanna hook up a digital thermostat i would make one but i have no machining tools i could make one from other stuff but it would either melt (my wood stove peaks about 350F) or it would be a shoty build with aluminum (and probally still melt) dont worry anyways i never got a response from the maker!

why does this sound like an advertisement...

Wow can these be purchased or do i have to make my own? im no machinist! if hte poster is the maker ill give you 100$ for one! i like the idea that it IS thermal dynamically controlled sytem, so when the fire burns lower less heat is lost to stirring the air none the less id give 100$ for a working metal model of this size

im surprised u dont see those for sale everywhere people with wood heaters would save on the electricity for the blower to move hot air

Thats crazy, it almost seems like it breaks the laws of thermodynamics!

wikipedia it... There is one with 55 kW output.

Couldnt someone make an extremely low matainence,effiecient powere plant with alot of those if it has a bigger size?( problably a large amount.)If alot of those plants were brought up, the electric bill would be dirt cheap, and the makers would be rich =D

This usage is free. When you have a wood stove you need a fan to blow the heat around, if you plug in an electric fan then it costs you money but when you place the sterling fan on the stove how much electricity does it cost you?... $0.00 For someone to percieve here that you need a wood stove so that you can run a fan is thinking in reverse.

"You can use the earth's thermal heat (geo-thermal energy)and it will run endlessly." Sure, but this is only a sane thing to do cost-wise in a relevatively limited number of locations where the crust is thin and you only have to drill a few kilometers down to get to hot enough rock that you can run your stirling engine with reasonable efficiency.(e.g. iceland)

If it were free it would not require a fancy wood stove! LOL! the third world need this tech not yuppies. It is efficient energy not Free that is misleading.
