As I noted before these guys are a bunch of clowns. Anybody would be well advised to stay the hell away from them when it comes to investing. The blatant clue to their incompetence is the proposal to use thermoelectric generators to generate energy off the waste heat from the Stirling engine. If a Stirling engine is properly employed you won't be able to utilize the waste heat with out degrading the Stirling engine's performance. When you propose using thermoelectric generators which in real life are only about 15% efficient at best the degradation of the Stirling engines performance will be huge.

If you want to invest money in a Sterling powered hybrid look to investing with Dean Kamen. He has been working at it since before 2008 and he already has taken the segway from concept to product so he knows business.
