Engineers at the University of California, Davis, have invented a device that can generate mechanical power at night by ...

This engine won't be fueling interstellar missions, but still finds an unexpected way to use deep space energy to generate ...

Deppe and Munday mounted a simple Stirling engine on a radiative cooling panel. They placed the setup on the ground, letting ...

Solar panels do a remarkable job during the day; however, the hours when people need the most electricity rarely coincide with the hours when sunlight is strongest. That mismatch has always created a ...

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 ...

A new device developed by UC Davis scientists works by taking advantage of the temperature difference between the warmth of the Earth and the extreme chill of outer space ...

Engineers are using the temperature difference between Earth and space to power a low-temperature Stirling engine that drives ...

Here’s What You Need to Remember: Though complex, the Saab explains how the Stirling engine works, “in a Stirling engine, the necessary heat is produced in a separate combustion chamber and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Earlier this week, we wrote about setbacks at some Silicon Valley companies with new solar technology. They’re built on real science and work in the labs, but they’re grappling with the real-world ...
