I believe this should be able to run open-circuit if its certified in the EU or US (UL or CE). That's usually in the install/users guide or stamped on the electronics assembly. Good luck, hope to see it work.
I vaguely recall hearing something about these things many years ago, but obviously they never caught on, because modern condensing boilers are efficient enough that there's (technically) very little in the way of "waste heat", but it'll be fun to see this thing being torn down to see how to re-use the generator part... :D
btw, any reciprocating engine Should have a crankshaft and flywheel assembly.! because, doing so results in SMOOTH rotary output motion. a rotary alternator is more efficient than a linear one of similar size.
700 £ for 1KVA Free Piston sterling generator that is bargain, I will buy it even if someone wake me at 3am.
I can't wait for the next video on this thing.
gas burn chamber looks good for future project for heating water using oil.

This is going to be an interesting series, i can’t wait to see it stripped down, good luck!
The diesel heater controller with 5 buttons, spanner wrench in upper left corner, does anyone know how to turn alpine mode on and off?
make you wonder how much energy is lost because of the spring?
What sort of price will you be selling that fpse for after you have finished playing with it?
cutting edge! love it and can't wait as this progresses - many thanks!
I believe you can
VERY much looking forward to this!

Will the hot side work off exhaust gas heat??
Interesting!
Be nice if it can power the 2amp or so draw as the diesel heater runs - interesting!
have fun. the engine is presumably designed to run with the hot side near 1000 c.

Matthew Beardmore has one on his channel
Insane price tag. Why would someone buy this thing instead of a regular water heater?
