Stirling Engine with Alcohol Burner
Stirling Engine with Alcohol Burner (Product Code: SLE/H/15) is a working demonstration engine that runs on heat applied from outside the cylinder. The alcohol burner creates a temperature difference across the engine, and that difference moves the pistons and flywheel, so students watch heat being turned into mechanical and electrical energy in front of them. It arrives ready to run, and every moving part stays in view. Science teachers in middle and secondary schools use it to introduce heat engines, and it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as a ready-to-run centrepiece for a heat energy science kit.

Typical Use
The teacher fills and lights the alcohol burner beneath the hot end, waits for the engine to warm, and gives the flywheel a light turn to start it. Once running, the class can follow the pistons moving out of step with each other and link what they see to the heating, expansion, cooling and contraction of the working gas. Removing the flame and watching the flywheel slow as the temperature difference fades is a simple way to show that a heat engine needs both a hot and a cooler side to do work, and it naturally leads into talk about efficiency and real engines.
Because nothing needs assembling, the model can move between classrooms and still be running within minutes of lighting the burner, which makes it a practical demonstration model for the physics lab and for science exhibitions. Stand it on a stable, heat-resistant surface, keep hands off the hot end until it has cooled, and refuel the burner only when the flame is out and the burner is cold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the engine need to be assembled?
No. It is supplied ready to run with instructions, so no assembly is required.
Is fuel for the burner included?
Fuel is not listed among the supplied items. Use the type of alcohol given in the instructions, sourced locally.
How large is the model?
The base measures 3-1/2 x 7 in, and the engine stands 3-1/4 in to its top, compact enough for a front-bench demonstration.
Can students see how it works?
Yes. All working parts are in plain view, including the pistons and the flywheel.
Can I heat it with something other than the alcohol burner?
The engine runs from an external heat source and is supplied with the alcohol burner for that job. Please check with us before trying a different heat source.
How long will it last in regular class use?
It is built to last through many uses; handle hot parts only after cooling and store it dry. Warranty terms are stated in each quotation.
Can you supply several units for a school group or export order?
Yes. Tell us the quantity and whether delivery is within India or to international markets, and we will quote accordingly.
