stirling engine
for Smile On Saturdays theme "Copyright by Mankind"
A Stirling engine is a heat engine that operates by cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas (the working fluid) at different temperatures, such that there is a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work. You can use any material to produce the heat.
This is a model which actually runs by lighting the alcohol burner. My dear hubby built it a few years ago.
