Infinia
Also in the Stirling engine camp is Infinia. Like Stirling Engine Systems, it uses a dish to make heat that powers a Stirling engine to make electricity.

But rather than build huge dishes for placement in the desert, Infinia is making dishes that are about 20 feet high. With many put together, they can be used for small to medium-size power plants of about 10 megawatts. Infinia has 334 units generating a megawatt of power during the peak times of electricity demand.

Pinnacle Journey 1.0 2008
Cheap and cheerful -- the Journey hits the value bullseye. And doesn't end up a horrible compromise in doing so.
Mezzo d-10
Too costly, particularly compared to its d-9 sibling. But despite that, this is the state-of-the-art for folding bikes -- fast, light, practical.
Puma Glow Rider
The emperor's new bicycle -- all marketing and no trousers. Over-expensive, handles and folds poorly, doesn't glow well enough, and is stealable despite the weird cable-cum-downtube.
Weleda Edelweiss Sun Lotion SPF 15
It's a very good, honest sun lotion and we appreciate that -- we're excited about Weleda as a company, but not overly so about this particular product
LG 32LG5000
Stylish and with good performance, this is a nice TV, especially at just over £400 -- but the high energy use is a turn off
