Description

Description:

Educational Sterling vacuum engine model: 
Stirling engine is unique heat engine because their theoretical efficiency is almost equal to the theoretical maximum efficiency, known as the Carnot cycle efficiency. Stirling engine generates power by expanding gas when heated and contracting when cooled. This is an external combustion engine that continuously burns fuel, expands air (or helium, or hydrogen) as a medium to move the piston, and the expanded gas is cold-cut in the cold chamber, and this cycle is repeated.

Start-up steps:
1. Put the model on the horizontal surface, add some alcohol into the alcohol lamp.
2. Light the alcohol lamp, turn the flywheel by hand until the flywheel can automatically rotate.
3. In the process of start, move the alcohol lamp to let the model run to the best.
4. The height of the alcohol lamp wick should be no less than 15 mm, and you can adjust the wick height to achieve the best operation.
