No idea about Stirling engines but you could always use other kinds of steam engines or turbines, albeit with lower theoretical efficiency. There's a very niche hobby for this kind of stuff, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJGpbvvJA2I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJGpbvvJA2I for example. The one thing that is problematic overall probably is the noise that any steam-based solution will make.
