Researchers have created a device that generates mechanical power at night by harnessing the natural temperature difference between warm ground and the cold of outer space. Engineers at the, Davis, ha ...

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

If you have never come across a Stirling engine, these fantastic pieces of engineering were first built in the early 19th century. The Stirling engine operates by cyclic compression and expansion of ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

The model Stirling engine is a staple of novelty catalogues, and we daresay that were it not for their high price there might be more than one Hackaday reader or writer who might own one. All is not ...

Explore the potential of Stirling Engines, a 200-year-old invention, in combination with thermal energy storage as a promising solution for renewable energy storage. As the demand for innovative ...

With the climate warming, the seas rising, the flooding of portions of Miami and other East Coast cities a regular occurrence and the government already spending millions to relocate people living on ...

He was called the greatest engineer of the 19th century and his work probably changed the world of railways as we now know it. The brilliant inventor is also the man who created the famous Rocket ...
