16 Cylinder Stirling Engines

This 16-cylinder stirling engine is an external combustion engine in which the fuel is continuously combusted, and the piston is moved by expansion of air (or helium or hydrogen) as a medium, and the expansion gas is cooled in the cold chamber, and the circulation is repeated.This external combustion engine comes mounted on an elegant wooden base and is powerful enough to spin the mounted propeller at 2,000 RPM. It’s powered by burning butane (lighter gas), there’s a small clear cylinder at the rear of the engine that feeds gas through copper pipes up to the 8 bases of the rear “hot” cylinders.
Marvel at the complexity of a heat engine by adding this mini tabletop cylinder stirling engine model to your collection from stirlingkit.com.

A floating bead connects 8 cylinders and their pistons. It is driven by the motor power of hot air. It is hard to believe that it is an engine model, super cool, 8 cylinders, 8 heating tubes, 8 fire exits ignite the flame onto the stainless steel heating tube, cool.

As an external combustion engine, it avoids the explosion of traditional internal combustion engines to achieve high efficiency, low noise, low pollution and low operating costs. The maximum advantage and efficiency of the external engine output is affected by the altitude, which is ideal for high altitude areas.

Aerodynamics has rich physics knowledge, intuitive engine principle, educational toys, teaching experimental equipment can effectively cultivate children's learning interest, can also be used for classroom teaching, more intuitive and easy to understand.

Operation Procedures:
1. The 16 cylinder stirling engine model switches the flywheel by hand in the horizontal position to see if it is smooth. If there is strong sensation, check if the connecting rod is normal, whether there is oil cylinder and dust. If it so, please use toilet paper to erase it. Switching the flywheel feels that the pressure rebound in the cylinder is normal, the cylinder is sealed
2. The packing bag of alcohol lamp cotton wear into the metal cap lamp. ( The fuel for this engine is butane gas, which can be purchased directly)
3. press the button to the tank, dial the above valve, ignite, wait for about 30 seconds to heat
4. turn the propeller to start, the position of the fuel tank has a knob to adjust the size of the firepower. It can control the speed. (Attention: For the service life of the model, it is generally not recommended to adjust.)
5. close the valve, turn off the fire, be careful, be sure to wait until the natural cooling touch the heating cylinder, so as not to burn

Tips:
1. After using it, please let the engine natural cool. Don't touch the burned tube or the metal to avoid scald.
2. The 16 Cylinder Stirling engine model is suit for people over 14 years old. Operate under adults' supervision. Education and fun, through hands-on-hand operation, you can observe the entire Stirling engine operating process, a more intuitive understanding of the Stirling principle, and deepen your interest in physics. Not only is it an excellent educational toy for children, it can also be used as a collectible.
