If heating were your goal, you wouldn’t put this in the middle, reducing efficiency, you would just use the sunlight that heats the air chamber directly. This is to demonstrate making mechanical power from heat energy, which has it’s own uses. The actual amount of energy this produces (especially at this scale) would be rather low, probably enough to drive a small light bulb.

I’ve seen a lot of Stirling Engines, but all of them are little size. What is the power they can generate ? If this system were able to generate power I think It would be spread in many places. It seems just can generate movement but without a reasonable amount of energy.

Wow, the lens really concentrates a lot, and in a smaller space than a parabolic mirror

It already uses heat as input. Why to triple convert it with losses if you are not electric junkie?

could be pretty cool if you could cool it with ln2
