Function:
The Stirling Engine is heated with a spirit carburetor burner, running very quietly at ca. 1000 U /min. Its dimensions are 110 by 80 by 220 cm without the ground plane, which are 240 by 160 by 10 mm. The motion of the pistons is visible and easy to follow, since both Rider cylinders are aligned parallel to one another. The fascinating piston motion during gas pressurization and discharge can also be viewed with this Andrew Ross engine. The motor´s transmission is triangular and held in place with a guide cross-bar. One corner of the triangle is used to mount it to the crank pin, while the other two are attached to the pressurization/displacing pistons.
Production of Electric Energy:
The transformation of thermal energy into mechanical, then electric energy is demonstrated impressively via the motor / generator unit integrated into the pedestal. A light bulb is illuminated by the operation of the generator.
Operation as a Cooling Unit and Heat Pump:
