Idk, you need some amount of torque to get a useful amount of work out of it. Sterling Cycle engines are usually referred to as external combustion engines bc you put fire or another heat source under them. . You can get work out of a 25 degree differential but likely not much. With solar concentrators, sure, but you're going to need a pretty big installation to make one engine.
You got me dead to rights. Being able to push a potato several feet up hill over the course of a few weeks offends me and in the name of 1:1 torque ratios i have found to destroy it.

That's not a potato, that's a high energy density kinetic battery!
