Pellet Boiler That Generates Electricity

Nice ! I wish they had one for cord wood.

Very interesting .

Don't expect it would be free energy though - I would think that whatever it used to generate electricity would be that much less that would go to heating your house.

I just quickly did some googling of this and it seems this is starting of course to catch on in the UK . From the little I have read we need to think of it in reverse . What they are doing is generating heat ( burning gas or pellets ) to power a stirling engine generator . The cooling process is the by product of heated water that is then used for home heating . I see no reason it cant be down in reverse so any heat need for hot water ends up to generating electricity that could be grid tied . Just thinking outside the box .

Cool. Now a larger unit that could burn pellets, and a separate one that could burn cord wood would be very appealing to those who need more output for larger homes and business applications.
