Micro DIY Stirling Engine Kit Big Flywheel Stirling Engine Physics Experiment Toy - Enginediy
The DIY Stirling engine Kit belongs to the external combustion engine. The Stirling engine makes the external combustion of the fuel heated, and the expanded air (helium or hydrogen) acts as a medium to move the piston. The expanding gas is cooled in the cold cylinder, and such a cycle is repeated.
Features:
1, DIY Stirling Engine: The engine is coming with kit, It requires assemble, which will bring more fun.
2, High Craftsmanship: The hot cylinder is made of glass, high hardness, high speed and long time running without wear. The main engine body is made of metal and the fuel is made of high-quality steel wire, which has ultra-high thermal release performance and is safer.
3, Easy Operation: Put the Stirling engine horizontally, added 95% alcohol into the alcohol lamp and placed under the hot cylinder. Ignite the alcohol lamp and wait for 2-3 mins, then give the flywheel a gentle push. It will start running.
4, Educational Toy: Through hands-on operation, you can understand the Stirling engine principle more intuitively by observing the whole engine running process, and deepen your interest in physics.
5, Ideal Gift Option for Many Applications: the DIY engine has a wide range of application as, great gift for Kids' science project, Physical/mechanical learning, teacher’s Demo props on the class, birthday gift for friends, families, parents, kids, etc. Many of our customers come from school, colleague, etc.
Installation Procedures:
1, Install the hot cylinder with the short screw on the beam. When installing, the direction of the cylinder should be in line with the beam; the long screw should pass through the beam hole and then pass through the bracket. When fixing the screw, it must be firm;
2, push the piston gently into the cylinder. After the outer cylinder and other pistons are pushed forward, gently pull the lower piston back and forth by hand to check whether it is flexible. If it is not flexible, it can be lubricated with lead powder. It is forbidden to add any lubricating oil to the piston part;
3, the large flywheel is mounted on the measurement position. Install the connecting rod to the positioning of the flywheel. Use a cotton swab to apply a little oil on the two positioning points. Do not add oil to other parts.
4, Place the metal magnet piece on the bottom of the alcohol bottle so that the magnetic alcohol bottle will be firmly attached on the engine base.
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.
