   In 1985-86 NASA did a Stirling engine project with two projects MOD I and   
   later MOD II.  MOD II was equal to weight & power output of an IC engine but   
   with far less fuel consumption. The start-up lag was overcome as well. The   
   Stirling means no transmission, or two step epicyclical if needed, meaning   
   greater fuel efficiency in a car.  The external combustion means the engine   
   was very clean to IC engines. The engine is super quiet.   Manufacturing   
   costs were assessed no more than IC engines. The reports are on the web. The   
   Stirling was now ready for auto use.   
      
   I see no Stirlings in cars or trucks.  I wonder why. MMMMMMMMMMMM
