Thank you for the kind words.

My pleasure. I originally found the site some time back when looking for
information on Stirling engines (wonderful contraptions that they are)

That they are, have you come across the work Morris Dovey is doing
with fluidynes ? They're a really cool variant on Stirling engines - JIC
you haven't here's a link:

and keep looking back every so often in the hope that there'll be an
update to say that you've managed to get funding to go into production.
Has there been any positive signs on that front at all?

None that came to anything, and the patents are expiring due to lack
of zbarl to cnl the ynjlref and renewals. In retrospect I would probably
have been better to use the zbarl I spent on patents and ynjlref setting up
production myself.
