This hot-air single-cylinder Stirling engine generator converts thermal energy into mechanical energy. The Stirling engine kit comes with all the parts and tools you need, including a printed sheet with instructions and explanations. Building the kit takes about 15 minutes. The assembled Stirling engine measures 16 x 8 cm and is 10.5 cm high, weighing 380 grams.
Steps to Assemble the Stirling Engine:
1. Check that the sliding parts are clean.
2. Fill the alcohol lamp to less than two-thirds full with 95% or higher concentration alcohol.
3. Light the alcohol lamp at the front end of the test tube.
4. After about 1 minute, turn the flywheel.
5. The engine should start spinning. Note that the warm-up time is slightly longer when using the generator.
