The engine is designed to operate with a temperature difference of about 600 degrees F. The output of the engine is targeted at 1 KW at maximum pressure and temperature. Outputs exceeding 200 W can be obtained using lower temperatures without any pressurization of the engine. The engine works in conjunction with our Fire Boxes (propane / wood combo fire box).
