The engine is capable of producing hundreds of milliwatts per square meter, and scientists are already working on practical ...

Engineers at the University of California, Davis, have invented a device that can generate mechanical power at night by ...

Researchers have created a device that generates mechanical power at night by harnessing the natural temperature difference between warm ground and the cold of outer space. Engineers at the, Davis, ha ...

Deppe and Munday mounted a simple Stirling engine on a radiative cooling panel. They placed the setup on the ground, letting ...

This engine won't be fueling interstellar missions, but still finds an unexpected way to use deep space energy to generate ...

Solar panels do a remarkable job during the day; however, the hours when people need the most electricity rarely coincide ...

Engineers are using the temperature difference between Earth and space to power a low-temperature Stirling engine that drives ...

A cooling night sky becomes a power source for electricity in a new study that shows how radiative heat loss can drive a working engine.

One of the basic truths learned in college thermodynamics courses is that no heat-activated cycle can be devised that is more efficient than a Carnot cycle operating between the same temperature ...

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 ...

Scientists Discovered the Tunnels of a Possibly Unknown Ancient Lifeform Warren Buffett suggests all parents do one thing ...

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 ...
