Sorry to get in late here but I'd like to get to the bottom of this Stirling engine conundrum. I'm always told the concept is theoretically efficient and the thermodynamics shows us why. But at the same time apparently, these engines can't be made to work in a more purposeful way than harnessing the heat loss from a cup of tea. Why?
