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 ...

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

A tiny, particle-sized engine that runs at temperatures approaching the innermost core of the Sun could open a window into ...

A new device developed by UC Davis scientists works by taking advantage of the temperature difference between the warmth of the Earth and the extreme chill of outer space ...

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

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 ...

Have you ever imagined a bike powered not by gasoline or electricity, but by the simple act of heating and cooling air? It might sound like something out of a science fiction novel, but the concept is ...

Check out this solar-powered Stirling engine (translated). The build is part of a high school class and they packed in some really nice features. The first is the parabolic mirror which focuses the ...

Here’s What You Need to Remember: Though complex, the Saab explains how the Stirling engine works, “in a Stirling engine, the necessary heat is produced in a separate combustion chamber and ...

Earlier this week, we wrote about setbacks at some Silicon Valley companies with new solar technology. They’re built on real science and work in the labs, but they’re grappling with the real-world ...

Exowatt sees this technology as simple and almost infinitely scalable. Simply adding more containers to the generator creates more electricity. In parts of the world that are consistently sunny, the ...
