Explore the principles of thermodynamics with this vibrant Stirling Engine model, perfect for physics education! Designed for the “Physics Education Design Contest,” this model uses the Maker’s Beginner Kit to simulate a working Stirling Engine. While powered by an electric motor instead of an actual tea light, the model cleverly replicates the engine’s functionality, making it both safe and engaging for classroom demonstrations. The color-coded design enhances understanding: the red side of the cylinder represents the “hot” air expansion area, while the blue side and its cooling fins demonstrate how air cools and contracts. This visual clarity helps bring complex scientific concepts to life in an accessible and hands-on way. Features:• Education-Focused Design: Built for the “Physics Education Design Contest” to teach thermodynamic principles.• Maker’s Beginner Kit Powered: Uses an electric motor to safely simulate the engine’s motion.• Color-Coded Components: Red for heat and blue fo
