   Stirlings are used in Swedish and Japanese submarines. One small Stirling   
   Swedish sub "sunk" the USS Ronald Reagan in war games. The USN could not   
   detect the quiet sub. The crew love the silence of the Stirling operation   
   reducing stress on-board. It can stay submerged for weeks using diesel and   
   liquid oxygen when only nuclear powered subs could do that.  Stirlings are   
   not things of yesterday, despite predating the internal combustion engine by   
   nearly 100 years.   
      
   I wonder why they are not in autos?   
      
   You are an idiot.
