Stirling Engine with Generator

Today, the package arrived.  I was excited when it was full of bubble wraps.  Indeed, it is my Stirling Engine.  Finally, I have a model Stirling engine with an electric generator.  Although it is just a scientific toy, it is my childhood dream come true.  I loved alternative energy and if I use a solar heat, the easy conversion beside water is stirling engine to generate electricity.  I fill up the alcohol burner with lighter fluid and light it up.  At first, it refuses to go.  Finally at quite high temperature, the flywheel spins continuously and the LED lighted up.  It is fun for me.
