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

What if you could draw energy from the night sky without effort? That's the question that researchers at the University of ...

The engine is capable of producing hundreds of milliwatts per square meter, and scientists are already working on practical ...

For the hot end, an aluminium mount was pressed into soil, transferring the Earth’s ambient heat to the engine’s bottom plate ...

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 ...

Solar panels do a remarkable job during the day; however, the hours when people need the most electricity rarely coincide ...

A cooling night sky becomes a power source for electricity in a new study that shows how radiative heat loss can drive a working engine.

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 ...

Nearly 200 years after their invention, and decades after first being proposed as a method of harnessing solar energy, 60 sun-powered Stirling engines are about to begin generating electricity outside ...

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 ...
