Microscopic Engine Hotter Than The Sun Probes Limits of Physics
A tiny, particle-sized engine that runs at temperatures approaching the innermost core of the Sun could open a window into ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
