OT- dean kamans deka revolt- the stirling

I've read recently of dean kaman( the gent that designed the segway) working on an electric car- a think city that had been upgraded with better batteries and a stirling powered generator to recharge said batteries (as well as provide heater/defroster) . Does anyone have further info on the stirling motor that's providing the ooomph to recharge the batt pack? Mr. kaman has apparently taken out patents on a stirling design in '02. Thanks Pat
