Interesting, the current design uses an available Rankin cycle closed loop steam engine, but the writeup indicates that they plan to develop a Sterling cycle engine to replace it.
 
Terrorists would not make a very good fuel source.  Most of them tend to be very lean and lack the body fat needed to compensate for the moisture in the tissues.
