Stirling Hot Air Engine - full build

This is an unboxing and full build of a Stirling hot air engine from Stirlingkit #notsponsored.
The kit came from Stirlingkit from China, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the kit. www.stirlingki...

Very nice model it makes a change to see an item from China that runs true with no wobble on the flywheel

Just completed mine, Brother & sister in law bought it for me for Christmas............

Nice 👍

[@AnthonyWiddowson]

Nice build of the engine. Very fast running engine once it gets going. :)

[@modellingmark]

Thanks Anthony. It does go at a fair lick. It's amazing that air can expand and contract that quickly! You can adjust the speed a bit by adjusting the length of the wick, but it's not very precise.

Thanks Henrik

I wonder if i could focus a parabola disk on it, and make it run on solar..

[@modellingmark]

I don’t see why that couldn’t work. Painting the cylinder cover black might help as well.

[@caponeg1968]

Where do you get the little glass replacement capsules that cover the piston? Mine looks smaller but still I need to find one. Can someone tell me where to find them? Thanks

[@modellingmark]

It’s steel on this one, but I have hot air engines that use a standard glass test tube. They have to be cut to length, but this is quite easily done with a diamond cutting blade on a Dremel. Wear gloves and safety glasses of course as they can shatter.

@@modellingmark thank you!

[@mohannadbaker8693]

Is it ok to transport this in airports?

[@modellingmark]

I can’t see why there would be a problem

[@davids8449]

So long as it is not running 😀

[@royan.jdm2]

Maximum time bunt of that fuel last?

[@modellingmark]

Sorry, but I never checked it. I'd guess around 10 - 15 minutes?

[@brucewallace6282]

I'm curious, what kind of alcohol are you using, Cognac or Whisky? Very nice little machine.

[@modellingmark]

Isopropyl alcohol. I couldn't bring myself to use a single malt!!

[@brucewallace6282]

@@modellingmark Lol. Quite understandable, but had to ask!! Cheers, aka Haggis :-))

@@modellingmark Good for you, it would be such a waste

[@michael_177]

I've ordered one of these. What kind of lubricant would you recommend for moving parts? and would you avoid using any on the displacer piston?

[@mwakelin]

Just graphite in the form of pencil lead for the power piston, don’t put any oil on this. I used a drop of light oil on the displacer rod. Nothing else needs lubricant. Enjoy the model!
