Sorry for the youtubes, I recommend Ytdlnis to view:

DIY magnetic induction water heater that uses no fuel, but instead uses free energy from sources like wind or water directly to create endless hot water.

Really impressive and simple concept with so few parts!

so if you spin a stirling engine it produces heat? ...like from friction losses? couldn't you just rub two sticks together for the same effect then?

yes i'm being facetious, i know you can use a stirling as a heat pump. but that just seemed even more complicated compared to this.

    Yeah, I just compare every lowtech to it, it's like a baseline anyone can make. Anything simpler is awesome, anything harder is useless usually.
