His Stirling engine was much safer because it worked on a different principle than steam. Instead of relying on the expansion of high-pressure steam, the Stirling engine is a closed system with a ...

A hot air or Stirling engine runs without carburetors, injectors, cams, valves, timing chains, spark plugs, or anything. It’s incredibly simple and can even be emissions negative, running on waste ...

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 ...

UC Davis engineering professor Jeremy Munday has developed an experimental engine that can generate mechanical power from the temperature difference between the Earth and deep space when placed ...

Scientists simulated several liquid air energy storage systems, comparing round-trip efficiency across configurations that include liquefied natural gas (LNG), solar, and Stirling engines, and further ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...
