More About the Coffee Cup Heat Engine

Experience the magic of thermodynamics with our meticulously designed Coffee Cup Heat Engine, a perfect blend of science, engineering, and aesthetics. Expertly crafted from CNC-shaped aluminum, this model guarantees durability and provides a captivating view of the engine's internal processes.

Witness the four main stages of a Stirling engine in action:

  1. Heat Addition: The working gas inside the heated cylinder expands.
  2. Expansion: The expanding gas pushes the piston, converting heat energy into mechanical work.
  3. Heat Removal: The gas moves to a cold cylinder and contracts.
  4. Compression: The cooled gas is further compressed by the piston, completing one cycle and preparing for the next.

A significant advantage of the Stirling engine is its high efficiency and potential for using any heat source, making it a promising technology for sustainable and renewable energy applications.

Beyond its practical demonstration of physics and engineering principles, this Stirling Engine shines as a piece of kinetic art. Its moving parts and minimalist design add a touch of modern sophistication to any setting.
