How can we bring the Stirling engine back to world relevance?

I wonder if steam engines work more efficiently on colder or warmer temperatures.

pretty sure it's still relevant, like used in some military drones.

Why would you?
From examples I have seen it's usually better to use other types of power generators instead.
A external combustion engine is inherently worst than a internal combustion engine.
Same for steam engines.

But the are more efficient than thermoelectrical systems. A reliable stirling generator would much improve RTGs
