A couple weeks ago I was talking about how my little refrigerator inside our camper works using a heat source such as a flame from propane or electric heating coil. There isn't the usually compressor, etc. Anyhow it got me thinking how I might be able to generate electricity from a wood stove with a similar process. Unfortunately the invention I was trying to devise has already been invented... ...about 200 years ago... it's called the stirling engine. <g> <ng> science.howstuffworks.com I'm sure glad I didn't spend any time trying to re-invent it. <g> Besides, I think Dean Kamen would probably do a better job at it. I haven't heard much new about his stirling engine that is supposed to be able to distill polluted water. dekaresearch.com -ReInventer
