Plastic Wheel Desk model Steam Engine Educational STEM Toy

To get your sterling engine started using boiling water, follow these simple instructions:

Prepare a cup of boiling water and find a stable, heat-resistant surface to place it on. Carefully place the sterling engine on top of the cup filled with boiling water. Allow the engine to sit on top of the cup for about 30 seconds, during which time it will start to absorb the heat from the boiling water.

After the waiting period, use your finger to flick or spin the wheel of the engine gently. The initial spin will help kickstart the engine's motion. As the engine begins to move, carefully observe its back-and-forth motion. The heat energy from the boiling water causes the engine to run, converting thermal energy into mechanical work. Enjoy the mesmerizing motion and appreciate the principles of heat transfer and energy conversion at play.

Remember to exercise caution when working with boiling water to avoid burns or scalding. Always handle the sterling engine with care to prevent any accidental damage.
