UK scientists have proposed a way to combine photovoltaic-thermal energy with Stirling engines and battery storage in residential buildings. Despite the high upfront costs, they said the ...

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 ...

Earlier this week, we wrote about setbacks at some Silicon Valley companies with new solar technology. They’re built on real science and work in the labs, but they’re grappling with the real-world ...

With the climate warming, the seas rising, the flooding of portions of Miami and other East Coast cities a regular occurrence and the government already spending millions to relocate people living on ...

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 ...

A Stirling engine is an external combustion engine that runs on the expansion and contraction of gas within a sealed system. In this video, we break down how it works, from heating and cooling cycles ...

One of the most unusual looking cars at this year’s Shell Eco-marathon Europe was testing out one of the oldest concepts for harnessing energy for motion: the Stirling heat engine. Team Schluckspecht ...

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 ...
