Abstract— The planet is progressively marching towards a serious energy crisis owing to an escalating desire of energy becoming greater than its supply. We have always accepted that the energy we make use of each day is not unrestricted, still we take it for granted. So in an attempt to deploy its use a novel concept of “Charging Cell Phones Using Heat From Hot Fluid” is introduced in this paper. Principles of Stirling engine is used in this process. A Stirling engine is basically a heat engine that operates by cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas, the working fluid, at different temperature levels such that there is net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work. In general Stirling engines have comparatively high thermodynamic efficiencies. Because they need only heat, Stirling engines also permits high fuel flexibility and allow for better control for emission. The purpose of this study is to provide an alternate energy source to operate Stirling engine.
