Stirling Engine with Generator Metal Model of Hot Air Engine 16 x 8.5 x 7.5 cm Alcohol Burner Golden Base Physics Experiment
You already have the maximum available quantity in your cart.
The Stirling engine is one of the most fascinating examples of how heat is converted into mechanical work. This functional model with metal construction operates like a real hot air engine with external combustion. Simply light the included alcohol burner, allow the cylinder to heat up, and give the flywheel a gentle spin. The engine then spins on its own and drives a small generator via a belt. The model measures 16 x 8.5 x 7.5 cm, making it suitable for a work desk, shelf, or display cabinet.
The entire assembly stands on a shiny golden base, which secures the hot cylinder, working piston, connecting rod with flywheel, and generator with belt drive. All moving parts are clearly visible, making the model ideal for educational demonstrations in schools, home experiments, or as a decorative piece in an office. The sight of the smoothly spinning flywheel powered solely by the heat of the flame captivates children, students, and adult collectors of technical models. The model easily illustrates how heated air in the cylinder pushes on the piston, how the motion is transmitted through the connecting rod to the flywheel, and how the generator converts rotation into electrical energy.
- Type – functional model of a Stirling engine with external combustion
- Material – metal
- Dimensions – 16 x 8.5 x 7.5 cm
- Heat Source – alcohol burner placed under the end of the cylinder
- Drive – flywheel with belt that spins a small generator
- Colour – golden base and metal parts in brass colour
- Usage – physics experiment, education, collection of technical models, decoration
- Contents – Stirling engine model with generator and alcohol burner (without alcohol)
Before the first operation, slowly turn the flywheel by hand to ensure it spins smoothly and that the sliding parts are clean. Fill the alcohol burner no more than two-thirds full, light it, and position it so that the flame heats the end of the cylinder. After approximately one minute, spin the flywheel by hand, and the engine will start. With the generator connected, it takes a little longer to heat up. Do not touch the heated cylinder and the metal parts connected to it during operation or shortly after, as they will be hot. Alcohol is not included; use standard alcohol intended for burners.
The Stirling engine model is a practical tool for anyone who wants to see the principle of a heat engine in action. Thanks to the alcohol burner included, it is ready to use immediately after filling with alcohol. The compact metal design looks great on a desk in an office, in a child's room, or in a physics classroom. It also makes a unique gift for technology enthusiasts, students, and model collectors. The movement of the flywheel and generator powered solely by the heat of the flame is a vivid demonstration of physics that is easy to remember.
