Description
The 3B Scientific U10050 transparent Stirling Engine operates in three modes, has an integrated generator, and sockets for measuring temperature and pressure. This model Stirling engine can operate as a heat engine, heat pump, and refrigerator to demonstrate the Stirling cycle and cyclic thermodynamic processes. The integrated generator with a two-stage belt pulley has an option to operate a lamp or external loads. The model includes sockets to measure temperature and a connection to measure pressure. Transparent parts provide visibility of concepts and motion sequences. The displacement cylinder and piston are made of glass for transparency and heat resistance, and the power cylinder, flywheel, and gearbox covers are made of acrylic glass for durability. The crankshafts are made of hardened steel and include ball bearings. Plastic connecting rods are light weight and provide wear resistance. The flywheel includes a photo gate for measuring rpm, and a thin cord allows for piston stroke-length measurement. The engine comes with an alcohol burner, string, and instructions.
