Powerful ordered collective heat engines

We introduce a class of stochastic engines in which the regime of units operating synchronously can boost the performance. Our approach encompasses a minimal setup composed of N interacting units placed in contact with two thermal baths and subjected to a constant driving worksource. The interplay b...
