Book excerpt: "Everyone needs power. Merrick Lockwood wants to use stirling engines to make that power. This book tells how Mr. Lockwood and his team, spent several years developing a simple, low tech, 5-HP Stirling engine in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It's the story of what worked then and what didn't along with Mr. lockwood's advice on which approaches would work well today. Lockwood's team built a Stirling engine that could burn agricultural garbage (in this case rice husks), however different burners could be designed today to burn previously wasted fuels. Lockwood shows how he used the simple ideas from historic Stirling engines along with his team's innovations to make his engines work. This book is filled with detailed descriptions of Mr. Lookwood's engines along with 34 pages of drawings that have survived. The book includes 184 photographs that show the tools, and methods of fabrication that Lookwood used."--Publisher's description.
