Company to offer boilers that also generate electric

This is actually the Whispergen package. Originally developed and currently built in New Zealand, this is a sterling engine based system with a power output of 1.2 kW and a heat output of 8 kW ( app. 27,000 btu ). It is designed to be installed in the kitchen area and looks much like a dishwasher. To learn more, go to -

This looks interesting.

It's size and quiet certainly appeal. Would be nice to know what the BTU ouptut is.

Thanks Noel!

Now I get to read through their 98 page instruction manual ;~) It still looks interesting though. I'll see if they're available in the US. It would be PERFECT for an off-grid home that has hot water and battery storage. (they make a DC unit too) I'm guessing it's expensive, but still far less than tying into the grid.

Yours, Larry

We have this here in the US, here's a link to some sites,

one I remember from Mass was Intelligen, it was a British diesel with a generator, when it ran for heat or h/w it generated electricity and the heat came from the water in the engine, it seems they've disapeared, anybody have any info on this??

In the US we are behind the times, we have an oil guy in thw White House who is not interested in economics. We could take every gallon of used oil from restaurants and grow soy and hemp and make bio diesel and turn the tankers right around, think OPEC might want to negoitiate a price at that point???????????
