Carl Aero Stirling Video

more engines at www.indianarog.com This engine is a Carl Aero brand of Stirling engine made in Germany. I assembled it from a kit in Jan 2012. It runs on nothing more than temperature differential between top plate of the engine and the bottom plate. In this video the engine sits atop a cup of hot water which will keep it going for about 40 minutes. Place the cup on a mug warmer and it will run the Stirling all day. Very nice craftsmanship, absolutely silent in operation and a thing of beauty in it's finished form.

...hope this helped. but it is also explained at wikipedia .

The air pushes the small piston up. Then, the big piston is going down and the air is forced to the upper, cold side. It abridges and gets the small piston down. The big piston is going up and the entire process begins again.

Well, I can try to explain how it works. When air is heated up, it expands. So that is the basic principle it's working on. On a Stirling engine there's a hot and a cold side. The hot one is the cup of hot water and the cold one is the top of the big cylinder. The big piston is for example at it's upper position. The air is on the hot side. It expands.
