I found a prototype home furnace with a 1kW stirling engine running a generator (
more info at EcoRenovator.org). If this would finally go mainstream, then after a few years there would be used stirling engines at scrapyards
An engine with a 1kW generator for the price of scrap metal (120kg of scrap metal). I'm sure that if this caught on there would be smaller models available.
