Bidding is for a Sterling Cycle Engine.This miniature Stirling Cycle Engine comes mounted on a red base measures 7 1/2" X 4” X 3” inches . This is an all metal engine silently running at speeds in excess of 1000 RPM. This model comes completely assembled and ready to run, accompanied by our "Stirling Cycle Engines" book. This engine originally came with a heat tray and heat pellets. I have had this item for several years, and the heat pan got lost. Any good heat source will make it run. At present it seems a little sluggish, it may need to be cleaned and oiled.A Stirling engine is a heat engine that operates by cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas, the working fluid, at different temperature levels such that there is a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work. The engine is like a steam engine in that all of the engine's heat flows in and out through the engine wall. This is traditionally known as an external combustion engine in contrast to an internal combustion engine where the heat input is by combustion of a fuel within the body of the working fluid. Unlike the steam engine's use of water in both its liquid and gaseous phases as the working fluid, the Stirling engine encloses a fixed quantity of permanently gaseous fluid such as air or helium. As in all heat engines, the general cycle consists of compressing
