2 Cylinder Stirling Engine Electricity Generator with Bulb Stirling Engine Motor Model – Enginediy
The 2 Cylinder Stirling engine generator is an amazing conversation pieces on your desk, decorative and impressive. It’s funny to see people’s looks and reactions when they squeeze a little shot for this Stirling engine.
Light the alcohol burner, let it warm the cylinder for 20 seconds, and then give the wheel a gently push, it will run like a charm and can light up the bulb. All of your guests want to know what happened, ice-breaking success. What a marvelous toy!
it’s proven to be a conversation starter to impress your visitors. It’s a cool piece of art even just stands on your desk.
Features: – Physical Science DIY Kits – 2 Cylinder Stirling Engine Model, physical motor heat power electricity generator external combustion engine model kits – Working Theory – Similar to internal combustion engine: the burning alcohol lamp provides heat power to make the expansion of gas inside, then the gas molecular internal power increasing and working strongly to the flywheel. With the help of the flywheels, heat energy will convert into mechanical work – Great Educational Toy – Classroom or laboratory experimental teaching aids, cultivate children’s interest in physics, more intuitive and easy to understand – Great gift for your friends or families. – A Stirling engine is a heat engine that operated by cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas (the working fluid) at different temperatures, such that there will be a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work.
Tips:
1, After using it, please let the engine natural cool. Don’t touch the alchohol burner, burned tube or the metal to avoid scald.
2, 95% alcohol (self-prepared) should be used in the operation. Water, kerosene, gasoline, lighter oil, and liquor should not be added.
3, The Stirling engine model is suit for people over 14 years old. Operate under adults’ supervision.

Awesome!
I bought this engine as an educational item for my younger boys and they loved it. It is very well built, works straight out to the box and is very cool.

Received but very Disappointed
Waste of my hard earned money.. My 11 yr son wanted this badly. It took over a month to arrive (much anticipation building). We were very excited to finally get it but it will not run. We’ve followed instructions to a T, have tried getting it hotter than hot and worked at repeatedly spinning the fly wheel by hand, for days and days but still haven’t ever gotten it to run. My son has been so very disappointed. A refund would be wonderful to get.

The Little Engine That Could
What a great little engine. I saw a You Tube video of a guy trying to blow one up using a blow torch as a heat source. It just kept on running at nearly 4,000 rpm as opposed to its normal 600 rpm. As you can see from the picture, I added a wood base and a base for the light bulb. Fascinating little sterling engine.

This is my fourth sterling engine it arrived well ahead of schedule meticulously package and ran without any issues right out of the box. In the four transactions I’ve had with this company I find them to be 100% reliable.As they are out of hit and miss engines I am told a new shipment will be arriving before long and awaiting their notification advising when I can place the order. Not only is it fun to watch these engines run, it’s also fun, unpacking them. Irv

Five Stars because
the cost was very reasonable, very fun. When attaching the light bulb load is educational the engine slows down turning the new load of the generator for the bulb. I’ve bought much more expensive gas mini-model engines and they are very cool. This model is very cool and much fun to experiment with.

You get what you paid, so catch me if you can.
Engine is running ,,smoothly” (which means it is running continuously, but vibrations are terrible – it moves whole thing across my table). It is relatively quiet (in comparison with similar sized gasoline engine). Generator is not perfect, output pins are too small and fragile, but you can overcome this by simply atach some wires to it and connect load on that wires. Surprisingly, output voltage is very stable and with buck boost DC/DC converter is easy to get USB voltage. I dont try to use it for powering something with USB yet, but I meassure output voltage and short circuit amps and maybe it will be ok to small powerbanks.
Ethanol burners not bad, just for refilling some needle is required (or very calm nerves).
Packaging and waiting time good, some spare parts in the box.
