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 ...
A hot air or Stirling engine runs without carburetors, injectors, cams, valves, timing chains, spark plugs, or anything. It’s incredibly simple and can even be emissions negative, running on waste ...
Discover how to build a simple DIY Stirling engine powered by heat from candles using an empty spray can and pen components.
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 ...
If you have never come across a Stirling engine, these fantastic pieces of engineering were first built in the early 19th century. The Stirling engine operates by cyclic compression and expansion of ...
Since Robert Stirling invented the Stirling engine in 1816, it has been used in an array of specialized applications. That trend continues today. Its compatibility with clean energy sources is ...
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 ...
It sounds implausible, yet scientists have managed to create a functioning engine, analogous to a Stirling engine, just three micrometers wide and made of a single particle. The minuscule engine was ...
In his attempt to develop the next generation of experimental powertrains, Texas inventor Josh MacDowell has gone way back in time. By pairing modern hybrid batteries and electric motors with a ...
THE Stirling engine, the brainchild of a 19th-century Scottish clergyman, is an invention that seems cursed by the gods of innovation neither to succeed nor to fail comprehensively and thus be ...
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 ...
Following the time-honored YouTube tradition of ordering cheap stuff online and playing with it while the camera runs, [Monta Elkins] bought a Stirling engine that drives a DC motor used as a ...
