 If you always have, on your person, at least 2 ways to make fire, you might be a prepper.

If they were that good, they would be in production.

nope!it was original built to replace or at least take on the steam engine but unlike the steam engine it could not run 24 hours a day
i spent a fortune on pvp system i am now thinking a few of these would have cost a hell of a lot less .

I'm not convinced.
On the video at 0:18 comapring with the fence one of those units looks to have a reflector area of about 4m^2 Yet the claim it produes 3kW Wikipedia state typical energy available on the earth from the sun in the 150 to 300W/m range This is consistent with a solar panel thats about 80W (rated) for a 1m^2 panel (about 25% efficient assuming ideal conditions) Either those units are a hell of a lot bigger than they look or they're getting >100% efficiently (a.k.a. telling lies) In either case if you want solar energy why use a Sterling engine? While I like the Sterling engine (for doing work from burning fuel) it is still an engine that requires maintenance, a PV panel doesn't. The PV panel should last your lifetime, no sterling engine will without a lot of spare parts.
