Have you ever imagined a bike powered not by gasoline or electricity, but by the simple act of heating and cooling air? It might sound like something out of a science fiction novel, but the concept is ...

UC Davis engineers have invented a Stirling engine that captures Earth’s escaping heat to generate power from the night sky.

Stirling engines, with their high conversion efficiency and excellent adaptability to various heat sources, show significant promise in the nuclear energy sector. This is particularly true for ...

Instead of absorbing energy from the sun to produce electricity, a new class of devices generates power by absorbing heat ...

UC Davis engineering 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
