Abstract

Solar-based dish-Stirling system has ended up being the most proficient method for creating power utilizing sun-based energy. Because of the expanding commercialization of this innovation, the requirement for augmenting generally speaking effectiveness and limiting misfortunes and cost has turned into a significant region of interest for specialists. Therefore, we found a gap in the market for a small Stirling engine that can be cost-efficient and likely to generate such an amount of electricity to charge mobile phones and also as an alternative to solar cells. Rising prices of material or components of solar cells is an increasing concern in India. The purpose of this research is to investigate whether it is feasible to make a cost-effective Stirling engine small in size and also want to find out whether it can make a place in the market as a strong alternative to solar cells. Using a prototype and a survey, this study analyzed whether it is feasible to make a good Stirling engine and whether it can create an impact on future consumers. Certain changes in the model can cause variation in the starting time of the Stirling engine, and the survey found out half of the percentage of people want to buy it as an alternative to Solar cells.
