A Stirling engine is an external combustion engine that runs on the expansion and contraction of gas within a sealed system. In this video, we break down how it works, from heating and cooling cycles ...

E-bikes and motorcycles are great, but what if there were another way to get moving? What if there were a motor that didn't require the combustion of Odin's juice to get moving? Well, there are plenty ...

Researchers optimized the classical Simple second-order analysis method by coupling multiple loss models, developing a Stirling cycle analysis program that more accurately captures the real-world ...

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 ...

Abstract: The work presents a dynamic model of the Stirling engine with a free piston, which was combined with a thermodynamic model taking into account isothermal heat exchange in the compression and ...

Existing literature focuses on the alleged merits of the Stirling engine. These are indeed latent but, decades on, remain to be fully realised. This is despite the fact that Stirling and other ...

Add a description, image, and links to the stirling-engine topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

UK scientists have proposed a way to combine photovoltaic-thermal energy with Stirling engines and battery storage in residential buildings. Despite the high upfront costs, they said the ...

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 ...

A research team in China has developed a high-power microwave (HPM) weapon driven by four compact and efficient Stirling engines. These engines, which efficiently convert thermal energy into ...
