Discover the fascinating world of engineering with our step-by-step guide on how to make a Stirling engine designed for low temperatures. This video provides detailed instructions on building a ...

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 ...

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 ...

HANOVER, N.H. -- To many a scientific purist and environmentalist, the internal combustion engine is a bust. It is noisy, pollutes and inches us irrevocably toward global warming. An interesting, but ...

If you have never come across a Stirling engine, these fantastic pieces of engineering were first built in the early 19th century. The Stirling engine operates by cyclic compression and expansion of ...

He was called the greatest engineer of the 19th century and his work probably changed the world of railways as we now know it. The brilliant inventor is also the man who created the famous Rocket ...

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 ...

Nov. 30 -- In order to develop more fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly power sources of the future, some researchers are turning to a technology of the past. Several companies and developers ...

A technology which works on a large scale can cause unexpected problems on a small one. And these can be of a fundamental nature. This is because different laws prevail in the micro- and the ...
