Engineers at UC Davis have built a remarkable device that creates power at night by tapping into something we rarely think ...

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 ...

His Stirling engine was much safer because it worked on a different principle than steam. Instead of relying on the expansion of high-pressure steam, the Stirling engine is a closed system with a ...

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 ...

China has revealed what it claims to be the world's inaugural microwave weapon cooled by a Stirling engine. This innovative high-power microwave (HPM) weapon, reportedly powered by four Stirling ...

Aerospace engineer and content creator Tom Stanton has documented the step‑by‑step construction of a bicycle driven by a Stirling engine, a heat‑powered machine first patented in 1816. The 18-minute ...

Researchers created a microscopic version of the Stirling engine using a single particle. At such small scales, the random fluctuations of Brownian motion affect the position of the particle and the ...
