Stirling engine
- A Stirling engine is a heat engine that operates by cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas, the working fluid, at different temperature levels such that there is a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work.The engine is like a steam engine in that all of the engine's heat flows in and out through the engine wall.
Great gift
- A good-looking low-temperature Stirling Engine could be a great gift for your friends or families or yourself. It is almost ready to run: you will only have to install the flywheel. After 30 seconds of installation, put it on a cup of hot water, then it will run like Forrest Gump.
How it works
- Electricity Generator Machine Model is traditionally known as an external combustion engine in contrastto an internal combustion engine where the heat input is by combustion of a fuel within the body of the working fluid. Unlike the steam engine'suse of water in both its liquid and gaseous phases as the working fluid,the Stirling engine encloses a fixed quantity of permanently gaseousfluid such as air or helium.
Safer to Use
- The Stirling engine can be run freely on a cup of hot water without lighting an alcohol lamp, which is safer for children. Exquisite frosted plunger prevents steam leakage and reduces wear and tear.
