Abstracts: In order to satisfy the rising energy demands of global consumption, a new cleaner and renewable power source needs to be explored, conceptualized, and developed. Solar energy is a free and clean energy resource which can be used to generate power without damage to humans or the local ecosystems. To efficiently capture this solar energy as a feasible power source, a Gamma type solar Stirling engine will be developed and will use sunlight as a source via a parabolic type solar concentrator. This project intends to utilize methods of gathering solar energy that have not yet been commercially implemented, and modifications to traditional Stirling engines will be made in order to maximize the efficiency of solar Stirling engines. These modified solar Stirling engines can produce power for a wide variety of applications. The nature of the engine allows for use of producing power in remote areas and disaster relief. We have design, developed and experimentation on stirling engine. As a heat source first we have use solar concentrator which is in our laboratory. But we are not able to run engine by this solar concentrator. After this we have to decide to use heat burner as a heat source for stirling engine. During experimentation we have change amount of heat source by heat burner and measure the temperature of hot and cold end and then after calculate the power output and speed of the engine. As we seen from result that power output and speed of the engine is increases as the difference of the hot and cold plate temperature is increases.
