Description

Illustrates conversion of heat energy into mechanical work using a thermodynamic cycle similar to the Carnot cycle.

  • Runs by exploiting the heat flow generated by the small temperature differences between room temperature and a container of hot water or ice
  • Transports heat from a warm surface to a cold one
  • Larger temperature differences make the engine rotate faster
  • Engine needs two pistons, a small power piston and a larger 'displacement piston' that also stores heat energy
  • Model runs at about 150rpm when powered by a cup of hot water
  • Direction of rotation can be changed by switching the warm and cold surfaces
  • Functions 'in reverse' as a heat pump by putting in mechanical energy and creating a temperature difference
