Discover the fascinating world of engineering with our step-by-step guide on how to make a Stirling engine designed for low temperatures. This video provides detailed instructions on building 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 ...

In 1816, engineer Robert Stirling invented his proprietary Stirling engine, an automatic power source operated by ambient heat rather than direct fuel sources like an internal combustion engine. It ...

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 ...

Tiny catapults, kinetic sculptures, a Newton’s Cradle — all kinds of nifty toys can adorn the desk of the executive in your life. On the high end of the scale, a 16-cylinder butane-powered Stirling ...

If you've been looking for something to do with your Caffe Latte (read: adult milkshake) other than drink it (and who wouldn't?) then take a look at the coffee powered Stirling Engine from AstroMedia.

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 ...

The 200-year-old Stirling engine has inspired a power generator made of a single particle just 3 micrometres wide. Overshadowed by its steam and internal combustion brethren, the Stirling engine is 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 ...
