I5-32: STIRLING ENGINE
Additional Info
- ID Code: I5-32
- Purpose: Demonstrates a Stirling engine
-
Description:
The Stirling engine is a closed-cycle regenerating heat engine using an external heat source. Air expands when heated, driving the piston, which drives the flywheel and forces cool air into the chamber for reheating. Heating the heat sink on the engine starts the flywheel rotating.
Safety note: Please make very certain that fuel tank is fully closed when finished.
