Ideal for STEM education, office décor, and unique gifting, it combines precision craftsmanship with eco-friendly operation to inspire curiosity and conversation. ## Description This low temperature stirling engine,runs on a hot cup of water(Do not put it above a candle or other fire) The engine's speed depends entirely upon the temperature difference between the hot side and the cold side. In the case of using a cup of hot beverage, not only is the engine transferring the beverage's heat to the surrounding air, there are air currents constantly crossing the top (cold) plate. The differing temperatures will cause the engine to slow or speed according to the net difference between the two plates. For some extra fun, you could obtain a USB-powered cup warmer and place engine on that. After the warmer finally made it to full temperature, the engine will chug along like a champ. Attention: 1.If there is a little noisy, ONLY use a little graphite dry lube or a pencil quieted it down nicely. 2.Do not use oil to lubricate,which will mix with dust in the air, and become a oil-dirt, finally make the friction to be even bigger.The stirling engine can't run smoothy. Size: 102 X 102 X 125mm Material: Steel and Glass Speed: up to 180-250 RPM Start Temerature Difference: 20 ℃ Weight: 236g Package Included: 1 x Low Temperature Stirling Engine ## Features - This low temperature stirling engine,runs on a hot cup of water(Do not put it above a candle or other fire) , could be a great conversation starter at work and unique gift to families or friends or for class demonstrations.It is almost ready to run: after the installation, put it on a cup of hot water or Ice water, wait a couple of seconds, gently flip the wheel,then it will run itself. - Basically you can run this engine up to 20 minutes with a cup of warm water (the engine must be cool). The bigger the temperature difference between the top and bottom plates the higher RPM you will get. This works best with a hot cup of water underneath and an ice cube in a plastic bag on the top (there is plenty of room for one ice cube on top). - Durable, well made, sytlish, and adjustable.Very fantastic craftsmanship, made with Metal Alloy - If there is a little noisy, ONLY use a little graphite dry lube or a pencil quieted it down nicely. Do not use oil to lubricate,which will mix with dust in the air, and become a oil-dirt, finally make the friction to be even bigger.The stirling engine can't run smoothy. - Size: 102 X 102 X 125mm ,Material: Steel and Glass,Weight: 236g ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Age Range Description | Baby | | Asin | B01B2MF3MY | | Battery Description | No batteries required | | Best Sellers Rank | #486,969 in Toys & Games (See Top 100 in Toys & Games) #4,282 in Educational Science Kits | | Brand Name | Usmile | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (53) 4.4 out of 5 stars | | Educational Objective | HIGH | | Item Dimensions | 8.39 x 5.71 x 4.49 inches | | Item Weight | 1.3 pounds | | Manufacturer | Usmile | | Manufacturer Maximum Age Months | 168 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age Months | 168 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 43227-871 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel, Glass | | Model Number | 43227-871 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Size | Large | | Theme | Stirling | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upc | 735980948720 | ## Images ![Low Temperature Stainless Steel Stirling Engine Generator for Education - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QvycrrwZL.jpg) ![Low Temperature Stainless Steel Stirling Engine Generator for Education - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aUfpsPAkL.jpg) ![Low Temperature Stainless Steel Stirling Engine Generator for Education - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KMwya3FDL.jpg) ![Low Temperature Stainless Steel Stirling Engine Generator for Education - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615brDz6l0L.jpg) ![Low Temperature Stainless Steel Stirling Engine Generator for Education - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AbnGDjVZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ well built good value. *by on Reviewed in the United States February 11, 2018* well made precision built little machine, good value for the money. with water well below scalding temperature in a styrofoam soda cup, and an ice cube on the top plate my little LTD sterling will run for an hour. starts out abot 180 rpm, still running at the end 30 rpm. gonna put some graphite on the friction points & see what that does. pobably gonna try some boiling water & see how fast it will go.good well built product. i would recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Melted the inner displacer last night, happy to order another one today. *by on Reviewed in the United States June 15, 2016* DO NOT LEAVE OVER AN OPEN FLAME such as a zippo.Melted the displacer in mine last night. Besides that though this is a very fun toy and fairly entertaining. It needs a fair temperature difference such as placing it on top of a cup of coffee or tea but it runs great. A bit squeeky and a little louder than I expected, but the novelty of having a fun piece like this is worth it.Even though I ruined mine I'd definitely purchase again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great gift for kids to get them interested in science and engineering. *by on Reviewed in the United States July 25, 2022* Even the adults that saw this, who were unfamiliar with Sterling engines, were amazed. Great discussion starter, and a great way to get kids interested in science and engineering... not to mention that it is simply beautiful too. Definitely get one (or more). ## Frequently Bought Together - Usmile® Low Temperature Stainless Steel Stirling Engine Generator Desk Models Education Toy Model Run Off The Temperature Difference - Sunnytech Low Temperature Stirling Engine Motor Steam Heat Education Model Toy Kit For mechanical skills (LT001) - DORAMI Clear Solar Power Crookes Radiometer Sun Light Energy Spinning Vanes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/23424611-low-temperature-stainless-steel-stirling-engine-generator-for-education](https://www.desertcart.is/products/23424611-low-temperature-stainless-steel-stirling-engine-generator-for-education) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
