New Stirling engine sends heat to space to produce steady mechanical power at night
Deppe and Munday mounted a simple Stirling engine on a radiative cooling panel. They placed the setup on the ground, letting ...
UC Davis engineering professor Jeremy Munday has developed an experimental engine that can generate mechanical power from the ...
The proposed design is based on a Stirling engine – an engine first invented in the 19 th century that uses hot pressurized gas to push a piston. It would use a 50-pound nuclear uranium battery to ...

NASA’s technology development branch has been funding a project called Kilopower for three years and testing is due to start in September, 2017 and end in January 2018. NASA Game Changing Development ...
Believe it or not, but the idea of energy independence is not such a far fetched concept anymore, especially when it comes to applying it on individuals. Better put, you can find ways to harvest green ...
Josh "Mac" MacDowell of San Antonio Texas had a brilliant idea. He took a Stirling engine, a type of engine developed 200 years ago, and added some 21st-century technology to it. The result is a ...
