A DIY enthusiast has created a unique computing device powered entirely by a miniature Stirling engine. This steampunk-inspired console, built from wood and 3D-printed parts, utilizes the engine's mechanical energy to generate a small amount of electricity, just enough to run an 80 MHz ESP32-C3 microcontroller. The device can play classic games like Tetris, Snake, and Pong, and even includes a basic code editor for CHIP-8 programs, all while consuming a mere 150 milliwatts of power. AI
