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 ...

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 ...

Have you ever imagined a bike powered not by gasoline or electricity, but by the simple act of heating and cooling air? It might sound like something out of a science fiction novel, but the concept is ...

Since Robert Stirling invented the Stirling engine in 1816, it has been used in an array of specialized applications. That trend continues today. Its compatibility with clean energy sources is ...

Nearly 200 years after their invention, and decades after first being proposed as a method of harnessing solar energy, 60 sun-powered Stirling engines are about to begin generating electricity outside ...

[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 ...

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 ...

THE Stirling engine, the brainchild of a 19th-century Scottish clergyman, is an invention that seems cursed by the gods of innovation neither to succeed nor to fail comprehensively and thus be ...

Let’s face it, everybody wants to build a Stirling engine. They’re refined, and generally awesome. They’re also a rather involved fabrication project which is why you don’t see a lot of them around.
