Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Stirling Motor made of?
The engine is made of stainless steel, zinc and glass, and it sits on a wooden base.
How does this Stirling engine work?
Lit wicks heat the gas at one end of a closed circuit. The gas expands and moves the pistons, which turn the disc, so you can watch heat become motion.
What does the indicator light do?
The light at the far end of the engine comes on while the engine is running. It shows that the heat from the wicks is being turned into movement and a little electricity.
What size is the Stirling Motor?
It measures 17 cm x 9.5 cm x 7.3 cm, which suits a desk, shelf or windowsill.

Dave Wilson –
decent little gadget, but the instructions were only in French! Annoying as it took me a bit longer to figure it out.
Sarah Brown –
Great little engine and works as described. Wish it came with a few more wicks, though—feel like I’ll have to reorder soon.
Tom Harris –
My daughter was absolutely fascinated watching the pistons in action. A brilliant piece for kids who are into science!
June Green –
bought this for my grandson, and his face lit up when we got it going. Lovely to see his curiosity sparked!
Jack Patel –
It’s a clever idea, but the base is rather fragile. Also, took longer than expected to arrive.
Emma Clarke –
Love seeing this Stirling Motor in action. Kind of mesmerising watching the engine work while generating a bit of power.
Liam Watson –
This was a hit with my young nephew. He’s really into mechanical things, and this was perfect for him.
Rebecca Houghton –
Couldn’t ask for more from a Stirling engine model. The kids and I have had countless hours of educational fun with it!
Margaret Hollis –
bought this for my grandson Alfie, who’s seven, and he hasn’t stopped talking about it. He sat there with his nose pressed up to the wooden base, watching the disc start to turn, and shouted “Nana, it’s alive!” Cracking little thing, and he’s already asked if we can show it to his class.
Daniel Pritchard –
Spot on. Light the wicks, let the air heat up, and the pistons push the disc round, which is a lovely way to see how a Stirling engine works without any textbook waffle.
