  • This is a great little toy. (NOT FOR CHILDREN)
Style: SC001
I have reviewed other Stirling Engines and have had issues with them working as advertised, but this one works great, and the kids love it. Especially as it powers a small generator powering a LED multi-colored light. The manufacturer gives an extra heat bulb with the kit just in case the original breaks, which is nice, but I don't think is necessary as long as you are careful. The manufacturer stats to use alcohol for the burner which works well. If alcohol is used then use 91 to 99% so that it will burn fast/evaporate quickly. I have not tried lamp oil yet, but it may be a good as well as a safe alternative. Please check with others with the same engine before attempting to alter what the manufacturer recommends. PROS; This Engine is beautiful to look at (even without it running). It is well designed, polished (no kidding, it is shiny) :). It is Mechanically sound. (very quiet) Fun to watch working. A great teaching tool for young engineering minds. CONS: ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR CHILDREN ("DANGER" Will Robinson "DANGER") High heat issues/FIRE (watch over carefully) ... show more

  • Volts figured out
Style: SC001
I love this little engine! It's very compact and well made. I particularly like that it's all chromed out. It makes for a very good demonstration tool. It worked right out of the box. No assembly required. It even came with some replacement parts, like the glass tubing, and an extra LED. So now, let me explain the video and the excel graph. The video just shows my set-up of how I am collecting the data. Yes, I am well aware that the blinking LED affects my results. However, the LED is soldered on and I may remove it, but the kids like to see lights when it's running so I left it on for now. The excel data is where I collected the data after the video when the engine was running for awhile. Then I recorded the data on my Ti-84 calculator and transferred it over to a computer to run some very simple stats on it using excel. So it appears that with the LED attached, it produces around 3.75 volts within +/- 0.3 volts. I may investigate RPM or AMPS next. Also, the power piston has little holes in it so that the length of the power piston can be adjusted. One neat little project for calculus students, is to change the length of the piston, create a best fit polynomial (power piston length vs the averages of RPM, Volts, Amps or etc) of some fixed degree, and then find when that curve is optimal. That will answer which piston length produces the most efficient given your metric (RPM, Volts, etc). The flywheel piston length is also changeable. For my experiment above, you want to change both length at the same time so it's balanced. So there are lots of potential for experiments I can use in the class! Have the students guess what will happen if the power piston and the flywheel piston are different? How does that affect the engine's output? Plus, it's small enough to fit on my desk which is great. I just received this product recently, and I am having a blast coming up with ideas for students already! I would love to see how people are using this as a teaching tool! Before anyone asks: Yes, that is an Apple //c from 1984 hooked up on my desk next to a working dot matrix printer. I still use it to show students in computer programming how an older computer use to work with goto statements. Also, the user must type in ASCII values to simply print a page. (No drivers back then, remember Form Feed and that mess?) ... show more

  • Super 'sciency' gift for grandsons
Style: SC010
Beautifully made! solid! Rubber feet on base and only assembly required is the little 'alcohol burner'. My two grandsons, 12 and 13 will love it. Extra 'drive belt' for generator. Extra LED for generator. Extra "hot bulb" in case of breakage. Has 3 'o rings' installed for this 'hot bulb' but would work with 1, so can consider extra 2 as 'extra', too. Instructions are barely adequate, but there must be a hundred videos on this and similar products. Hard to understand how anyone makes money at this price. Very happy. Highly recommend for 'geeks' or teenage boys. Fun, beautiful, rugged. ... show more

  • It works as advertised
Style: SC001
This came already assembled in the box with me only having to fill the fuel glass and put the wick inside it. Gave it a little while to soak up and then lit the wick and did as the instructions said and the engine did what it was supposed to do. It gets going really fast but not sure how fast because I don't own anything to clock the rpm with, but it was fast. It's not all that strong though as I pressed a q tip to the fly wheel and it slowed it down considerably with little pressure, but this is meant as a demonstration tool so no problem there. On that note I still wouldn't be a ding ding and stick a finger in the way and all that because it is still moving fast and things get a little wonky with physics and stuff when things go fast. Overall a very interesting concept and was cool to show my kid and explain what was going on. Only thing I didn't like was that the alcohol will evaporate out of the glass if left in there so be sure when you blow it out, if there's any fuel left, you bottle it up in something else because it will be gone pretty quick if you don't. ... show more

  • Item description stated this comes with a spare glass tube?
Style: SC011
When I unpacked the Sterling Engine and all the extra parts. I got all the LED lamps, the O-rings and tools. There was NO extra Glass Tube in the box, but the one that comes preinstalled on the engine. This thing is really neat and been wanting one for a while. I am happy with my purchase. I wish I had that spare tube if this one ever breaks. ... show more

  • A quick tutorial without the bull.
Style: SC010
Great product, some quick do's and don'ts. Don't lubricate it, one drop of oil where the piston connecting rod attaches to the flywheel on each side is sufficient and needs no lubrication elsewhere. The alcohol burner is too small, Sunnytech sells a much better unit for 10 bucks, it's shorter and wider with a much thicker wick. It's a two cylinder engine, get used to it vibrating, that can't be helped. I bought a cheap set of three bamboo cutting boards and attached the engine to that, The cutting boards are just too heavy to be affected by the engine vibration. The alcohol burner, I suggest a small metal plate be attached, (there is a full video attached) so that you can toss a neodymium magnet into the burner, which keeps the burner from wandering around and allows you more precise control of the flame, the magnet in the burner locks it to the metal plate while running. Fuel, isopropyl alcohol only, and the very least potency should be 91%, which can be purchased anywhere. 70% just doesn't cut it. A room temperature engine should take roughly 15 to 20 seconds to get started, (see video) The alcohol burner does not work well with a breeze, set it in an area with still air movement. Ambient temperature makes a difference on engine performance, too cold or too hot can seriously affect performance. A good running range is about 65 to 80° Fahrenheit. The Piston rod from the cylinder to the flywheel should be checked to make sure it is straight, they bend easily with your fingers, check it to make sure it is straight. Don't try to boost the heat by using a torch, you'll just fry the internal o-ring seals, alcohol burner only. The maximum RPM for the engine is about 1500, if the generator is connected you will get a drain as the engine tries to rotate the generator, slowing it down. Mine is over a year old and has not had a single part replaced, (normal wear parts such as pulley bands or o-ring seals) the trick to long life is not to overheat it. Remember the engine functions on exothermic heat, not internal combustion, whatever heat you apply to the cylinder head determines speed and torque. If you want maximum RPM's remove the pulley belt to the generator. If you follow these basic guidelines you will get the maximum efficiency, the longest life and the most fun of this neat and well-made engine. Unless you have experience as a tinkerer or tool jockey I suggest you don't take the engine apart if not needed, if you can handle the simple mechanics then be my guest, this review is simply to help the beginner with only rudimentary mechanical skills, a primer so to speak. ... show more

  • Awesome machine. Great Price.
Style: SC001
This is a well made little machine. The "flywheel" is well balanced and it runs like a champ. Everyone I've showed it to is amazed and it's fun to watch while running. There's a little motor that generates enough power to light up a LED. Some people might find the constantly changing LED colors a bit annoying, but that's just me. Would I reccomend this to others? Absolutely. I also received an extra o-ring, (works like a fan belt to move the little motor that generates electricity) a see through glass piece that covers the piston, and an extra LED. This is a great scientific toy. You'll like it. Just remember to use denatured alcohol and don't run the alcohol lamp dry, otherwise the wick starts to burn and it will char. You'll end up having to use scissors to snip off the charred end. It runs for about 8-10 minutes on a full "tank" depending on how much wick is exposed. I recommend having the wick slightly below the glass viewing window that covers the piston. Children should be supervised and should not be left alone while this unit is running. If the alcohol lamp is left uncovered, the alcoholic will evaporate. I recommend covering the alcohol lamp with a shot glass when not in use to slow down the evaporation process. ... show more

This is a neat little device that science and technology teachers can use to demonstrate how stirling hot air engines work. All you need is a little rubbing alcohol. I recommend that safeguards are used due to the open flame - maybe use in an aquarium tank.
