Engineering:List of solar engines

From HandWiki

Solar engines include:

  • Crookes radiometer, a light mill composed of an airtight glass bulb containing a partial vacuum.
  • Solar engine, a circuit which stores energy from solar cells in a capacitor and releases it in pulses to animate toys.
  • Stirling engine, a heat engine of the external combustion piston engine type whose heat-exchange process allows for near-ideal efficiency in conversion of heat into mechanical movement.
