A system for generating mechanical power using super critical carbon dioxide (sCO) is disclosed. The system includes at least one expansion cylinder () housing a first piston () and at least one compression cylinder () housing a second piston (). A first heat exchanger (C) is fluidically connected to the compression cylinder () and the expansion cylinder (), and a second heat exchanger (H) is fluidically connected to the compression cylinder () and the expansion cylinder (). The first heat exchanger (C) cools the COreceived from the expansion cylinder (), and the compression cylinder () pressurizes the COcooled by the first heat exchanger (C). The second heat exchanger (H) heats the COfrom the compression cylinder () and supplies to the expansion cylinder (). The high temperature and high-pressure COdrives the first piston () housed inside the expansion cylinder () to generate mechanical energy.
