<t>American Stirling Company is looking for a few educators who can write<br/> great Stirling engine educational materials. We need labs and other<br/> educational materials that feature our engines for all levels between<br/> middle school and universities.<br/> <br/> <br/> We would like to pay you...

<t>Here is a story on our Stirling engines being used in a science fair from the February 4, 2004 issue of <br/> The Ledger a local newspaper in Lakeland Florida.<br/> <br/> If the link is changed you can probably search their site for the word "Stirling" and find the article again. A special thank ...

<t>You didn't say where you were located, but I'll assume you live in some part of the world where it is bitterly cold in January instead of some place like San Diego. I would suggest trying this with a MM-6 heat of your hand Stirling engine.<br/> <br/> <br/> Make a bracket so that the engine is sup...

<t>Stirling engines can eliminate waste in two very important ways. First by generating electricty right where it will be used they eliminate all the transmission line losses. This saves roughly 50% of the "electrical losses" right there.<br/> <br/> <br/> Second they are set up to use the engine was...

<t>Hi Jaunita,<br/> <br/> There are several reasons why I think a Stirling engine would be an excellent thing to write about in your daughter's report. <br/> <br/> 1. Some Stirling engines can be made to run almost indefinitely by designing them with seals that make no contacts.<br/> <br/> <br/> 2. ...

Take a close look at our online instructions for the MM-5 and then roll your own using PVC pipe, coat hangar wire and a rubber glove for a diaphragm. It's hard but fun.

I'd suggest a demo using a 25 watt lamp to simulate the engine running on sunshine. Have her make a solar collector out of aluminum foil over cardboard as a focusing device.

In Around the World by Stirling Engine there is a picture of me standing in front of such an engine on Flamingo Avenue in Las Vegas. It certainly is an idea that can work.
