The model Stirling engine is a staple of novelty catalogues, and we daresay that were it not for their high price there might be more than one Hackaday reader or writer who might own one. All is not ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a thermoacoustic Stirling heat pump prototype that offers high thermal performance, a peak coefficient of performance of 1.68, and potential ...

Stirling engines, with their high conversion efficiency and excellent adaptability to various heat sources, show significant promise in the nuclear energy sector. This is particularly true for ...

E-bikes and motorcycles are great, but what if there were another way to get moving? What if there were a motor that didn't require the combustion of Odin's juice to get moving? Well, there are plenty ...

Researchers created a microscopic version of the Stirling engine using a single particle. At such small scales, the random fluctuations of Brownian motion affect the position of the particle and the ...

The Stirling external combustion engine has fascinated gear heads since its inception, and while the technology has never enjoyed widespread commercialization, there’s a vibrant community of tinkerers ...
