Hi,
I was reading a previous thread on the merits or otherwise of petrol or diesel. Whilst my boat is a sailing vessel I need an auxillary form of power and am worried about the demise of fossil fuels.
Do any forumites know of any research being done on Stirling Engines. These are incredibly efficient external combustion engines (I recently bought my son a model one for his birthday)
Alternatively I found this web link relating to alternative energy sources.
Would this be feasible? Especially for single handed sailors.
