Stirling Engine (Temperature Difference Engine)

This is a design of a Stirling engine, is an engine capable of working (perform a circular motion) making use of the temperature difference between the bottom and top.

Test your printer and printing material! If it has a good print and the material is sufficiently rigid and able to transmit the heat of the steam, then you will have a functional motor made purely from plastic, if not, you will still have a nice mechanism for your desktop (and even more if a small electric motor is installed).

This is a Stirling engine design, that is an engine capable of operating (by making a circulating movement) using the temperature difference between the bottom and the top.

Test your printer and supports!

If this gives a good impression and if the material is sufficiently rigid and capable of transmitting the heat of the steam, you will then have a functional motor entirely in plastic at hand, otherwise you will always have a nice mechanism for your office (and even more if a small electric motor is installed).

This is a design of a Stirling engine, it is a motor capable of working (making a circular motion) making use of the temperature difference between the bottom and top.

Test your printer and media!

If it has a good impression and also the material is sufficiently rigid and capable of transmitting the heat of the steam, then you will have at your fingertips a functional motor made purely of plastic, if not, you will still have a nice mechanism for your desk ( and even more if a small electric motor is installed).
