    ESP32-C3 Stirling Computer Runs CHIP-8 Games on 150 mW

    A miniature Stirling engine is now doing more than spinning a flywheel on a workbench: Reddit maker PickentCode has built a wooden, fire-powered CHIP-8 computer around an ESP32-C3 that plays Tetris, Snake, and Pong while operating within a claimed 150-milliwatt power budget. The important...
