- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoStirling engines are wonderful, especially the Low Temperature Differential (LTD) ones such as these. You can make your own from a can, balloon, cardboard, some wood, string and wire, that can be powered by a candle or ice cubes. Wonderful toys.
- sudont 16y agoThe mechanically inclined can use said materials to make extremely good engines, as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9cK_TMLvjI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9cK_TMLvjI
- sabj 16y agoI know what I want for christmas now! I have seen and made Stirling engines before, but none that are so beautiful and efficiently low-temperature differential. Does anyone know of some other good kit vendors? Something cheaper than ~$134 would be ideal.
