Stirling Engine Kit Astromedia

The genius of Dr motor. Robert Stirling In 1816, the time of steaming steam boilers with dangerous, the Scottish minister Robert Stirling developed a revolutionary hot air engine. Today, the principle considered by him again in the spotlight because of its high return with a quiet operation. The principle of simplicity is genius: A sealed cylinder is heated at the bottom. The cylinder moves a piston air between the hot and cold side back and forth. The air therefore must always expand and contract. By a working piston and a crankshaft that is converted into a rotary motion. It can either heat or cold and electricity are used to the temperature difference to achieve. Fire, ice, solar energy, heat or cold rest. Place your Stirling engine on a cup of hot coffee, give the flywheel a push to the left and the modest engine begins to run almost silently up to one hour long! But that's not all, turn the unit on an ice tray and give the flywheel a push to the right and running again. Maybe longer.
