Kategorie: Englisches

Englische Version des Artikels "Der Stirling-Motor" 228.STM

Cardboard kit for a fully functional Stirling engine.

Spiritual assistance

The revolutionary concept of this hot-air engine was invented as early as 1816 by the Scottish clergyman Robert Stirling. The lifetime of this enthusiastic inventor and clergyman coincided with the first heyday of industrialisation, whose hunger for energy was satisfied by thousands and thousands of steam engines invented by James Watt in 1776. His compassion for the victims of the repeatedly exploding steam boilers led to his vision of a machine that would also work without high steam pressure.

How it works

In a sealed cylinder heated on its underside, a piston pushes the enclosed air back and forth between the hot and cold sides. The air expands and contracts each time, and the resulting pressure change is converted into a rotary motion via a working piston and a crankshaft.
Any heat or cold source that can be used to generate a temperature difference serves as the energy source - from open fires to solar energy to otherwise unused warmth or coolness.

Advice

Place the Stirling engine on a cup of boiling hot coffee (tea or water will do, of course), give the flywheel a little push to the left, and the frugal machine begins to stomp quietly - for up to an hour!
Or: Put it on a cold compress or a cooling pack from the freezer and turn the flywheel to the right. Then it stomps even longer.
