The most recent such harvesting arrangement I saw is another scheme to exploit the thermal differential between the cold ...

Cooling fins are an iconic feature of motorcycle design. These blades made their mark early, with their parallel lines encircling the cylinders of classic bikes from day one. Whether on the striking V ...

This week, researchers from the University of California published a new study detailing an innovative approach to passive cooling. It can convert the Earth's passive heat into a small but steady ...

It seems like only yesterday that Lindsey Stirling was buzzed off America’s Got Talent by Piers Morgan. Morgan said she wasn’t talented enough to play violin and dance at the same time. (Morgan forgot ...

His Stirling engine was much safer because it worked on a different principle than steam. Instead of relying on the expansion of high-pressure steam, the Stirling engine is a closed system with a ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Stirling engines, which have been around for centuries, leverage temperature differentials in a gas to do light mechanical work. A new study ...

This engine won't be fueling interstellar missions, but still finds an unexpected way to use deep space energy to generate power. Reading time 3 minutes Deep space may provide hidden sources of energy ...

Professor Jeremy Munday has developed an experimental engine that can generate mechanical power from the temperature difference between the Earth and deep space when placed outdoors at night. The ...

The Earth is much larger than most people realize. You need to use engines if you want to efficiently navigate large sections of the planet. Everything from cars to planes relies on engines, but they ...

Mazda's Miller-cycle engine was a notable entry in the annals of automotive history, combining variable valve timing with a screw-type supercharger to maximize the brief compression cycle. The most ...
