Similar, but a Sterling Cycle is a gas cycle, as the working fluid is never condensed or boiled. This is a Rankine cycle and the working fluid, often water, is boiled and then condensed in the cycle. A typical air conditioning system is Rankine cycle running in reverse. Either could be a practical way to extract solar energy, as the energy is "low grade", meaning that getting very high temperatures is not easy. But for a combustion engine, I don't think so.
