Dishing out power with a solar engine at Infinia of Kennewick, WA

Infinia looks to an existing technology–the Stirling engine–to compete in solar-electric industry.

A company is trying to prove that a 19th-century design known as the Stirling engine has a place in the emerging market for clean energy.

Infinia http://www.infiniacorp.com/main.htm , based in Kennewick, Wash., plans to release a dish–which will look like a large satellite TV receiver–that will use the sun’s heat to generate electricity. The product is slated for final design later this year and commercial release in 2008.
