New engine uses the freezing cold of space to generate power at night

Engineers at the University of California, Davis have created a device that produces mechanical power at night by taking advantage of the temperature difference between the warmth of the Earth and the extreme cold of outer space. The system could eventually help ventilate greenhouses and other buildings without relying on fuel. The research appears in Science Advances.
