Abstract
The Stirling engine is a path that was not intensively researched and developed on compared to internal combustion engines. However, with advanced technology one has now compared to the 1800s, Stirling engines can be used for purposes including generating electricity and heat in households. Its potential lays in its high thermal efficiency, long life span, as well as the advantage that it can operate quietly. This study investigates and discusses the applications of Stirling engines in houses. There are a lot of ways that Stirling engines can be implemented in daily life, including micro-CHP, water pump, electricity generator. In the future, with better technologies, Stirling engines may be brought up more due to its high efficiency and other beneficial traits. These results aim to increase the attention to Stirling engines and the possibility of implementing it for residential purposes, possibly leading to further research on the topic to further exploit the potentialities of the Stirling engines.
