A recent ebay auction win. A rather unusual stirling engine.

That's so very cool Alan and something that I have never seen before.

Thanks Guys. Yes it is rather unique. After a bit of a search on YouTube I've found several others of a similar kind but not one exactly like this. It's quite well made too, the brass barrel pivot that the test tube is clipped to has a small ball race bearing at each end.
