Stirling Motor GT03 School Design

The Transparent Stirling Motor GT03

The simple-functioning Stirling Motor has a piston in the 90° V-configuration and a balanced and quiet operation at over 1000 U/min. In order to visually monitor any of the movements in the apparatus, an emphasis was put on operational transparency was designed into GT03. In accordance with this consideration, the pressurization cylinder, displacement cylinder, and displacing piston consist of a specially designated glass, and the flywheel and gear case of Plexiglas.

The crankshaft is mounted with ball bearings and consists of hardened steel, and the connecting rod and crank of a wear-resistant plastic. Due to the constitution of this unit?s components, its operation is very quiet and maintenance-free with a performance of ca. 1.5 mechanical Watts.

Motor / Generator Unit

The operation of this motor/generator unit impressively demonstrates the transduction of thermal energy into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy, whereby a light bulb is illuminated via an electrical conduction box (max. 12 V).
