Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Stirling Engine Car made of?
It is made of steel, wood and glass. The engine is fixed firmly into a wooden base.
How does the car move?
You light the wick, which heats the air inside the chamber. The air expands and pushes the pistons, and the engine is linked to the wheels, so the movement turns them.
How big is the Stirling Engine Car?
It measures 18.5 cm x 11 cm x 7.28 cm, so it is compact enough for a desk, shelf or display cabinet.
How fast does the engine run?
Its listed speed is 1300 to 1500 revolutions per minute once it is running. A Stirling engine works from a temperature difference, so the speed depends on how well it is heated.

Bought this Stirling Engine Car as a gift for my nephew. It’s fab watching the mechanism in action, quite the conversation starter! Love it, though I reckon the base could be a tad sturdier.
David Wilson –
my son was chuffed with this little marvel! It was delightful seeing him eyes light up as the pistons started moving. Such a brilliant educational tool for kids, and I learnt a thing or two about the Stirling cycle myself!
Tom Harris –
I’ve bought a few science gadgets here, and this one’s quite the interesting piece. Works beautifully, though took a bit of patience to get the wick lit properly. A small faff, but worth it for the effect.
Jane Patel –
I got this for my son, and we’ve had a good deal of fun with it. It’s nice to see him curious about science! The only niggle was the setup, just felt a bit fiddly.
Emma Clarke –
Quite nifty but the packaging was a letdown, didn’t match the charm of the actual product. Also, waited longer than I’d have liked for delivery. More care needed on those fronts.
