The greatest advantage to the stirling engine is that it is an external 
combustion engine.  Coupled with a turbodiesel engine in a stationary setting (e.g. 
genset) could prove ultra efficient, as the stirling could be run off the 
waste heat of the diesel.  Additionally, I have heard that the stirling on its 
own can produce a similar amount of power for fuel compared to an internal 
combustion engine due to its own heat recovery process.  The diesel/stirling combo 
would be impressive.
