February 13, 2009 Technology capable of generating electricity by extracting energy from heat that is otherwise just wasted is a fairly new branch of renewable technology. A typical co-generation ...

Almost exactly 200 years ago, French physicist Sadi Carnot determined the maximum efficiency of heat engines. The Carnot ...

The smaller the better, and in a world of fast-developing technology, that’s called innovation. Just this month, a desk-sized turbine capable of powering a small town was announced to be under ...

Airthium, a clean technology company based in Austin, Texas, has developed an innovative heat engine designed to replace fossil fuels and decarbonize industrial heat and power generation. The company ...

The heat engine works as its intrinsic spin converts heat absorbed from laser beams into oscillations of a trapped ion. Credit: John Goold, Trinity College Dublin A new heat engine made from a ...

Research from The University of Manchester has thrown new light on the use of miniaturised ‘heat engines’ that could one day help power nanoscale machines like quantum computers. Heat engines are ...

A heat engine is a device that accepts heat from a high temperature reservoir, T H , performs externalwork, W, and rejects heat to a low temperature reservoir T L. The diagram shows a practical ...

Physicists from Trinity College Dublin believe new insights into the behavior of light may offer a new means of solving one ...
