| Abstract | The Stirling Commercialization Study was carried out. The report language claims that 'the Stirling engine may eventually contribute to a long-term solution to the Nation's emission problems' and that 'supporters of the Stirling engine have proposed a Government and industry cost-sharing demonstration program.' 'To determine the optimal long-term sponsor for the Stirling engine' the report directed NASA 'to participate in an interagency study including the Department of Energy, the EPA and the Air Force, in consultation with other interested agencies, to evaluate potential sponsorship of such a program.' The other participating agencies were the Department of Transportation, the United States Army, and the United States Postal Service. The study was to 'include the optimal size and scope of the demonstration fleet, a determination of the private sector contribution, and a mechanism for securing such funds.' The report encouraged NASA to 'consult with the private sector in developing the study plan.' |
