Description
- EASY TO PLAY: this engine is powered by the temperature differential between the top and bottom panels. Just take it out of the box and put it on a mug of hot coffee, wait for seconds, then give the flywheel a gentle turn and you're up and running! The start temperature differential between the two panels is around 20 C/68 F, lower than most of the engines on the market.
- STIRLING ENGINE OF HIGH PERFORMANCE: compared with traditional engines, this one runs smoother and is stabler: use hardened power piston(less friction & unbreakable); stainless steel string as connecting rod connecting the flywheel and the power piston(less friction); two little magnets on the power piston and displacer interact with each other as connecting rod to minimize mechanical friction while simplifying the structure in a graceful way.
- A FANCY DESKTOP TOY: This stirling engine runs rapidly and quitely (compare to other LTDs; please don't compare it with your watch; it's an engine and it does make noise). In addition, we use better materials with special surface treatments to make it look prettier and have a higher performance.
- A NOVELTY FOR EVERYONE: when having friends at home, it will definitely be an eye catcher; kids will be excited. It's also a great entertainment for people in the office, an innovative desk piece.
- WIDE APPLICATIONS/GREAT GIFT: it will be a remarkable gift for anyone interested in science; a great conversation piece that could be used as teaching tool on demonstrating physics knowledge; enable kids to think about basic principles of the universe. Especially for those who owned Stirling engines before, try this one.
This Stirling engine is driven by the Temperature Differential between the top and bottom panels. The simplest way to create enough temperature differential is placing it atop a mug of hot water. Rotating speed highly depends on the temperature differential: the higher, the faster.
