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 ...

E-bikes and motorcycles are great, but what if there were another way to get moving? What if there were a motor that didn't require the combustion of Odin's juice to get moving? Well, there are plenty ...

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 ...

UK scientists have proposed a way to combine photovoltaic-thermal energy with Stirling engines and battery storage in residential buildings. Despite the high upfront costs, they said the ...
