Based on previous work by George Cayley (known for his pioneering work on aeronautics), Stirling filed his patent for a safer engine in 1816. That makes this year the bicentenary of this engine.

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 ...

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.

I first heard about Stirling engines at probably about the same time most people in the general public heard of them, i.e. during the frenzy of speculation regarding the exact nature of inventor ...

In simple terms, the Stirling engine is a heat engine, relying on the heat produced in a combustion chamber external to the actual engine. As such, it can use essentially any fuel from natural gas ...

The best known example of the latter is the stirling cycle engine. The advantage of the stirling cycle is that the heat source can be anything since the combustion (or non-combustion) occurs ...

Trump overpowers Musk's attacks on mega tax bill with blizzard of orders ...

In 1816, engineer Robert Stirling invented his proprietary Stirling engine, an automatic power source operated by ambient heat rather than direct fuel sources like an internal combustion engine.

Nasa’s LEW-TOPS-80 patent proposed a thermoacoustic engine paired with an alternator to generate electricity in space. NASA has not shown a prototype. NASA Glenn’s thermoacoustic power converter ...
