Deppe and Munday mounted a simple Stirling engine on a radiative cooling panel. They placed the setup on the ground, letting ...

This engine won't be fueling interstellar missions, but still finds an unexpected way to use deep space energy to generate ...

Engineers at the University of California, Davis, have invented a device that can generate mechanical power at night by ...

A cooling night sky becomes a power source for electricity in a new study that shows how radiative heat loss can drive a ...

Engineers are using the temperature difference between Earth and space to power a low-temperature Stirling engine that drives ...

Just how small can you make an engine? Two researchers from the University of Stuttgart and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Valentin Blickle and Clemens Bechinger, successfully ...

Since Robert Stirling invented the Stirling engine in 1816, it has been used in an array of specialized applications. That trend continues today. Its compatibility with clean energy sources is ...

One of the basic truths learned in college thermodynamics courses is that no heat-activated cycle can be devised that is more efficient than a Carnot cycle operating between the same temperature ...

Over on his YouTube channel [Tom Stanton] shows us how to build a Stirling Engine for a bike. A Stirling Engine is a heat engine, powered by the expansion and contraction of a working fluid (such as ...
