Solar-powered Stirling Engine

Gabriel G Pessoa de Castro, Gustavo B E Silva, Isabela T Magacho

The constant evolution of machinery and equipment has caused great concern for the country's sustainable development. More and more industries, greater use of fossil fuels and, consequently, greater wear and tear on the environment. In view of the rapid advance of technology and the environmental impact it can have, this study aims to implement energy efficiency measures in a way that does not harm the environment, promoting a better quality of life. It is in this context that this project is an alternative way of producing electricity in an innovative way. The project consists of a Stirling engine that, coupled with a parabolic reflector antenna, is able to concentrate the sun's rays on a single point of the engine, the hot chamber. This makes it possible to generate a temperature difference between the two chambers and transform the solar energy captured into mechanical energy. Through the dynamo connected to the motor, this mechanical energy is transformed into electrical energy in a clean and sustainable way.
