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 ...

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 ...

Engineers at the University of California, Davis, have built a small device that produces mechanical power at night by exploiting the contrast between ambient warmth and the extreme cold of outer ...

Engineers have built a modern Stirling engine that quietly turns the cold of outer space into steady mechanical power, using the night sky as a heat sink instead of a fuel tank. By radiating heat away ...

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 ...
