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 ...

Stirling engines, with their high conversion efficiency and excellent adaptability to various heat sources, show significant promise in the nuclear energy sector. This is particularly true for ...

The Stirling engine seems like an odd-ball design when you’ve only encountered gas and Diesel engines. Even though the Stirling engine is piston based it doesn’t use valves. It has a sealed working ...

Tool Shop has designed many Stirling/Vacuum engines and one of our earlier Stirling engines, the Gamma Mk1, has been purchased in a kit form and shipped to Antarctica. We are very excited that our ...

One of the basic truths learned in college thermodynamics courses is that no heat-activated cycle can be devised that is more efficient than a Carnot cycle operating between the same temperature ...

One of the most unusual looking cars at this year’s Shell Eco-marathon Europe was testing out one of the oldest concepts for harnessing energy for motion: the Stirling heat engine. Team Schluckspecht ...
