I'm working on a design in the same ballpark as this, and I found that NASA has something similar as well (if not a bit more mechanically complicated than my design); I couldn't find a nice overview but I did find a couple of links to PDF's describing the test and analysis of their sterling-powered linear-alternator design:

...and a bit of an overview on the sunpower site (partner)

- todayiamme 16y agoWow. Thanks a lot for the links! They are awesome! It will take me time to go through them properly as there are some concepts in them which I don't know about. (I just graduated out of high school a few months ago) Do you mind if I email you questions about what I've read? I have lots and lots of them. Thanks again. P.S. - I am quite dumb. I tend to ask stupid questions so please take that into account. :)
