Run the Stirling Engine Fan
An authentic Stirling propeller engine
The Stirling propeller engine is made from stainless steel, aluminum and brass. This combination is enhanced by colored hues that highlight the aesthetics of the appliance. It provides the power of its cylinders, the precision of its pistons and the strength of the Stirling engine. A wooden base reduces vibrations when the Stirling propeller is running.
Let’s talk science with this Stirling Engine
The Stirling propeller engine gives you the opportunity to teach your children and friends about the principles of thermodynamics. They will be able to see how thermal energy is transformed into mechanical energy in a closed cycle using the propellers as mechanical propellants and coolers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Stirling engine work?
A Stirling engine runs on a difference in temperature. Gas sealed inside is heated at one end and cooled at the other, and its expansion and contraction drive the pistons, which turn the propeller.
What is it made of?
It is made of stainless steel, aluminium and brass, mounted on a wooden base that reduces vibration while it runs.
How big is it?
It measures 10.5 cm x 10.5 cm x 21.8 cm, so it fits comfortably on a desk or bookshelf.
Can it be used to teach science?
Yes. It shows clearly how heat energy is turned into mechanical movement in a closed cycle, which makes it a good way to explain thermodynamics to children and friends.
