The thermoacoustic engine is an elegant simplification of the Stirling engine which uses only sound waves for its energy conversion.
The engine itself has no moving parts and as it is externally heated, any heat source can be used for energy generation.
This makes the motor highly reliable and almost completely free from wear and it is perfect for building yourself using a simple 3D printer.
The engine developed here is of the TASLiCE (ThermoAcoustic Stirling-Like Cycle Engine) type but also other principles as the TASHE (ThermoAcoustic Stirling Heat Engine) are discussed.
Thanks to the efforts of many developers, it now seems possible to print even the hot parts affordably.
There are still many details that need to be improved, and intensive work is underway on theoretical optimization, improving the power extraction unit and simplifying the manufacturing process.
