Breakthrough Thermoacoustic Stirling Generator Converts to Energy With No Moving Parts
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#6GAY0)
China has built the most powerful thermoacoustic Stirling generator. The prototype delivered a groundbreaking 102 kilowatts of power from a heat source of 530 degrees Celsius (986 Fahrenheit). This is the first time this type of breakthrough generator has gone over 100 kilowatts. Thermoacoustic engine achieves high thermal-to-electrical efficiencies with no moving parts. The new ...
