New Stirling Engine Hybrid Car

The guy who invented the Segway has a new Stirling engine hybrid. The engine is not used to drive the car directly, It is used to charge the batteries only. This approach is probably the most suitable for the Stirling engine car since the Stirling engine runs best with a constant load and rpm.
