Product overview A balancestyle heat engine built mainly from metal with a custommade thick glass heating cylinder and a brushed aluminum alloy base plate. Designed for quiet, stable operation and longterm heating without pressure, it runs using 95% alcohol as fuel and demonstrates basic thermodynamic and mechanical principles. Key benefits Durable heating element: custommade thick glass cylinder tolerates sustained heating without pressure buildup. Stable, quiet performance: balancestyle engine construction and mostly metal components reduce noise and improve running stability. Corrosion resistant base: brushed aluminum alloy bottom plate provides a neat appearance and resists rust. Simple, reliable startup: uses 95% alcohol in the burning container; heats quickly and starts running after a short warmup. Educational and giftready: suitable for science projects, classroom demonstrations, and as a thoughtful gift for curious kids and hobbyists. Materials and performance Heating cylinder: custommade thick glass for sustained heating. Base plate: brushed aluminum alloy for a clean finish and durability. Body: primarily metal construction for stability, quieter operation, and resistance to rust. Fuel and start time: fill the burning container with 95% alcohol and light it. After 60 to 120 seconds of heating the rounded cylinder, a gentle push to the flywheel will set the engine running. Typical applications Classroom demonstration: teachers can use it to illustrate heat engines and basic physical principles during physics or mechanics lessons. Home science projects: ideal for handson experiments and school projects that explore energy conversion and motion. Gift or display: a compact, mechanical desktop piece for hobbyists, students, or as a birthday present for friends and family who enjoy practical science. Operation steps 1. Place the engine on a stable, heatresistant surface. 2. Fill the burning container with 95% alcohol. 3. Light the alcohol and allow the roundended glass cylinder to warm for 60 to 120 seconds. 4. Give the wheel a gentle push; the balancestyle mechanism will begin to run. Notes and handling Intended for demonstration and educational use. Use in a wellventilated area and follow basic fire safety precautions. Supervise children during operation. What makes it stand out Balancestyle design provides a different mechanical experience compared to regular Stirlingtype models. Combination of a thick glass heating cylinder and brushed aluminum base blends durability with an attractive, functional appearance. Straightforward fueling and quick warmup make it easy to demonstrate and operate.
