Air Stirling Cup Model - Educational Motor Toy

Explore the captivating principles of thermodynamics with the Air Stirling Cup Model – an educational toy designed to demonstrate the workings of a Stirling engine. This innovative motor toy operates through the cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gases, effectively converting heat energy into mechanical work by harnessing temperature differentials.

Created with educators in mind, this model simplifies complex concepts, making it easier for students to understand the underlying principles. It operates safely and efficiently on the surface of a cup filled with hot water, eliminating the need for an alcohol lamp, making it a suitable choice for children.

To begin, ensure the temperature difference between the base of the unit and its surroundings exceeds 25°C. A gentle push on the flywheel will set the engine in motion, allowing it to run smoothly on its own.

The model features a finely finished frosted plunger that minimizes steam leakage and wear over time. If you notice increased friction between the flywheel and its support, applying a small amount of graphite dry lubricant can help reduce noise without leaving an oily residue.
