I've just added the first photos to my solar stirling web page snip

Hi ya Morris. Thenks for the link. LMAO Not entirely certain
you're on the right path, but what the heck, few of us are. I tak it
you want a "solar pump" type of thing. Somewhere I have seen an article
on a solar type pump, supposedly steam powered. I've got the article
around somewhere, don't even dream I can find it, or weould ven look. I
don't remember details, but I guess the system works, used for
irrigation, somewhere in the mid-east if I recall right. The reflectors
seemed similar to what you're doing, but mor of 'em. Of course, that
could be because the system was so much larger. Didn't pump a huge
amount of water, but steady - as long as the sun ines. The reflector(s)
also had a plastic, or glass, cover. Dunno what a DAGS would turn up,
it just popped up in my mind, so may, or not, try one.

In the meantime, I just ran across this link to a museum quality
Stirling, that may help you.

It's not hard, if you get your mind right.
