Hot Air Stirling Engine DIY Kit with Acrylic Parts, Alternator
Experience hands-on engineering with the Hot Air Stirling Engine DIY Kit with Acrylic Parts and Alternator. This compact 1:48 scale engine demonstrates how heat can drive motion and generate electrical power in a safe, engaging home or classroom project. Built from clear acrylic parts joined with durable metal, the kit is perfect for curious students, hobbyists, and science teachers exploring thermodynamics and energy conversion. An alcohol lamp heats the engine, turning the flywheel and powering a small light via the included alternator.
Designed for clear visibility and straightforward setup, this kit makes the inner workings of a Stirling engine easy to study. The transparent acrylic housing lets you watch energy flow from heat to motion to electricity, while sturdy construction ensures reliable operation and long-term display value. The included components and simple assembly steps make it a compelling gift for young learners and adults alike.
Benefits & Tips
