Aerospace engineer and content creator Tom Stanton has documented the step‑by‑step construction of a bicycle driven by a Stirling engine, a heat‑powered machine first patented in 1816. The 18-minute ...

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 engine also needs the temperature gradient to work, but its design means that this can be much lower, so it can run by setting it on a nice cup of tea. That's because it can exploit very ...

Engineers at UC Davis have built a remarkable device that creates power at night by tapping into something we rarely think ...
