Engineers have built a modern Stirling engine that quietly turns the cold of outer space into steady mechanical power, using ...

Researchers have created a device that generates mechanical power at night by harnessing the natural temperature difference between warm ground and the cold of outer space. Engineers at the, Davis, ha ...

Archaeologists Accidentally Discovered the Oldest Gun Ever Found in America ...

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 ...

In his attempt to develop the next generation of experimental powertrains, Texas inventor Josh MacDowell has gone way back in time. By pairing modern hybrid batteries and electric motors with a ...

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 ...

We’ve heard rumors for years about engines capable of getting 100 miles to a gallon of fuel, but the reality is much closer than you might think. Josh “Mac” MacDowell says he not only has the engine, ...

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 ...

Just how small can you make an engine? Two researchers from the University of Stuttgart and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Valentin Blickle and Clemens Bechinger, successfully ...

Poland picked Sweden on Wednesday to supply it with three A-26 or Blekinge-class submarines being built by Saab , which are ...
