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

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

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

Building off a design invented and patented nearly 207 years ago by Robert Stirling, Qnergy’s Free Piston Stirling Engine is revolutionizing the capture of one of the most harmful pollutants out there ...

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 ...

In 1816, engineer Robert Stirling invented his proprietary Stirling engine, an automatic power source operated by ambient heat rather than direct fuel sources like an internal combustion engine. It ...

A Stirling engine is an external combustion engine that runs on the expansion and contraction of gas within a sealed system. In this video, we break down how it works, from heating and cooling cycles ...

Tiny catapults, kinetic sculptures, a Newton’s Cradle — all kinds of nifty toys can adorn the desk of the executive in your life. On the high end of the scale, a 16-cylinder butane-powered Stirling ...
