The Original 
Stirling Engine that runs in the palm of your hand

 

The Original Stirling Engine that can be powered by the heat from your hand!
One of these model engines has been running continuously since 1993 on the heat from a cable TV box.

Precisely designed by a registered professional engineer and fabricated from laser-cut stainless steel.

Production models are nearly ready. We are also working on a Stirling engine powered clock (see below).

On the right is our new Stirling Engine - an actual, working, miniature model! We have painstakingly refined the design to provide consistent precision and long-life. Each and every engine is test run for over 500 hours!

We are developing a Stirling Engine Powered Clock and hope to make it available for purchase within the next year. Of course, it will be laser-cut stainless steel construction. We haven't finalized the details, but pricing will reflect the quality of the components.
