Instead of relying on the expansion of high-pressure steam, the Stirling engine is a closed system with a working gas, usually air, that generates power by having one part of the engine cycle ...

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 ...

Refrigeration today is something we can easily take for granted. But in the early 1800s, there was one entirely different method of cooling.

Engineers at UC Davis have built a remarkable device that creates power at night by tapping into something we rarely think about: the vast cold of outer space. Using a special type of Stirling engine, ...

My Engines] has been doing some sterling work on Stirling engines for some years now. Their thermoacoustic engine is now finally far enough along to open-source, so the magic of collaboration can ...
