If you ever had a diesel car, you know that it’s more fuel efficient than the gasoline counterpart. That’s because diesel engines use compression to ignite the fuel, and gasoline engines use a spark to do that. Practically, diesel engines could work without any electricity - at all.

1820, when steam engines operated everywhere, Robert Stirling, a Scottish vicar, and his brother James built a new engine. They used an outside burn, additionally hot air was sufficient for the operation of the engine. This principle has theoretically already been developed by the English flight pioneer Sir George Cayley twenty years earlier.

Like it’s said that sculptures aren’t created but discovered, because they were always there in the rock, so Josef Papp, a Hungarian emigrant to Canada discovered an engine based on the properties of the inert gases, such as Helium. It is known nowadays that these gases, compressed and ignited under certain electrical conditions, can offer [...]

It’s a known fact that diesel engines are more efficient than the gasoline ones, and that is because they work a little differently on the ignition side. Diesel engines compress the fuel to a point where it heats and explodes, a process known as self-ignition. On the other hand, diesel engines are still polluting the [...]

Taking the lessons learned from the development of hydrogen-powered cars and applying them on a larger scale, New Holland Agriculture has developed the impressive NH2, the world’s first hydrogen-powered tractor.

If you ever had to do with a computer, or with buying a computer by parts, then you surely have heard of MSI. They are a big Taiwanese manufacturer of computer motherboards (those boards that you put your microprocessor and memory on). They’re not on the top of quality and performance, but they sell well, [...]

A Can Stirling Engine(This engine was proposed by Mr.Saburo Tsucchida.
He is teacher of Kasukabe technical high scool.)
 
Step 1 - Material Preparation and Structure
To make the Can Stirling engine you require these materials: wood board 10mm thick; balsa wood 10mm thick; wire 1.5mm diameter; fishing thread; a balloon; square lumber 5mm square; two thumbtacks; a paper [...]

LTD stirling engines are an interesting idea. They harvest the temperature difference of the environment versus a cold object, and using this they power some pumps.

There are many ways for building of a hull, such as using frame of square lumbers or using F.R.P. Here, we build the hull using piled up boards of balsa. This can be built easily, and can stop the water leakage easily.
 

It’s been almost a year since I wrote about Stirling engines, and how heat can be transferred to a system and converted to do mechanical work. A Stirling engine works this way: you have two chambers communicating with each other: one that is being heated, and one cooling the hot air. The temperature difference between [...]

Bruce Crower’s engine is an innovation derived from a standard 4-stroke engine. It uses 6 strokes - the 4 normal ones, and at the end of the 4th it introduces the 5th and the 6th:
- it squirts water on the 1500 °F hot cylinder, creating a steam volume 1600 times greater than the volume of [...]

A simple redesign of the petrol engine could greatly increase its efficiency when idling or driving at low speeds, as well as reduce the harmful emissions it produces. UK researchers say the new design could even make petrol engines as efficient as diesel ones.
In most petrol engines, fuel is ignited by spark plugs inside cylinders [...]

The following is an excerpt from tt engines, a company who made a truck engine that does not have any pistons, valves, or any other elements from the conventional Otto engine. It works with 30% more efficiency, and exhausts less dangerous elements for our health and the environment. It can burn anything, from gasoline to [...]
