Air Flow and ThermodynamicsStirling Cycle Hot Air Engine: Horizontal Cylinders
The unit is for demonstration of stirling cycle hot air engine.
The engine consists of two cylinders. The first (displacer) cylinder is made of Pyrex glass and is to generate hot air by a resistance heater. The second (power) cylinder is to generate a mechanical power on a fly wheel by hot air from the first cylinder. Air flow passage and phase angle between the two cylinders are such that the expanded cool air from the second cylinder is returned for heating in the first cylinder. The power to the heater can be varied. Cylinder ports allow engine to operate on gasses other than air. Instruments are provided for measurement of input power, and output power.
Instruction manual is also included.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS- Torque vs speed for a given input.

Air Flow and ThermodynamicsStirling Cycle Hot Air Engine: Twin Power
The unit is for demonstration of stirling cycle hot air engine principles.
The engine consists of a large vertical cylinder with heater to generate hot gas. Twin cylinders above the hot gas cylinder generate power. The hot gas cylinder head can be cooled by water from a cooling system. All cylinders are attached to a common shaft. Heater to the hot gas cylinder can be varied.
Instruments are provided for measurement of input power and output power.
The advantage of this design is the ability to bring the engine to operating condition in a short time.
Instruction manual is also included.

Air Flow and ThermodynamicsStirling Cycle Hot Air Engine: Vertical Cylinders
The unit is for demonstration of stirling cycle hot air engine principles.
The engine consists of two vertical stainless steel cylinders. The first cylinder is to generate hot air using a heater. Power to the heater can be varied. The second cylinder is to generate a mechanical power using hot air from the first cylinder. Both cylinders are attached to a common shaft, with a suitable flywheel. The hot gas cylinder head is cooled by outside water supply. Instruments are provided for measurement of input power, and output power.
The advantage of this design is the ability to bring the engine to operating condition in a short time.
Instruction manual is also included.
