Engineers have built a modern Stirling engine that quietly turns the cold of outer space into steady mechanical power, using ...

A new attempt to generate electricity from solar power using a Stirling engine created a ripple of interest recently when an article in the Guardian hailed it as the most efficient method of ...

Professor Jeremy Munday has developed an experimental engine that can generate mechanical power from the temperature difference between the Earth and deep space when placed outdoors at night. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems employ lenses or mirrors coupled with tracking systems to concentrate a large area of sunlight into a small beam, rather in analogy with the simple and familiar ...
