Low Temparature Stirling Engines For Sales
This is a set of plans for the construction of a low temperature differential Stirling cycle engine that requires approximately 50�F temperature difference between the top and bottom to run.   A well constructed engine placed on top of an insulated cup of boiled water should run for about an hour at speeds from 300 to 50 rpm.  When ambient temperature is above 80�F, the engine will run backwards on top of a cup of ice!  The engine was designed with the novice metal worker in mind, but should be a nice project for metal workers of all skill levels. It's a good project for the home or school shop.  Plans include detailed explanation of all parts and materials



Who thought up this contraption?
The Stirling Cycle Engine was invented by Reverend Robert Stirling in 1816. It wasn't until the early 1980's when the first Low Temperature Differential Stirling Cycle Engines started showing up. Low temperature is considered below the boiling point of water.

What is a Stirling Cycle Engine?
A Stirling Cycle Engine, often called a "Hot Air Engine", uses an external heat source to repeatedly heat and cool a volume of gas. The pressure fluctuations caused by the expansion and contraction of the gas, acting on a piston or diaphragm, provide the force necessary to make the engine run. Plans include an explanation of how it runs.
