Stirling Engine Model, Low Temperature Differential, Aluminium, 13 x 9 cm, Red

This working Stirling engine model demonstrates how an external combustion engine converts a difference in temperature into motion. Set it on a warm surface, such as a cup of hot water or a hand, and the flywheel begins to turn as the air inside the chamber expands and contracts.

Because it is a low temperature differential design, it does not need a flame to run, which makes it well suited to classroom demonstrations, science fair projects and home experiments in physics and mechanics.

The model is machined from aluminium with a red finish, and the exposed flywheel and linkage make the mechanism easy to follow while it runs. It also sits well on a desk or shelf as a kinetic display piece, and makes a considered gift for anyone with an interest in engineering.
