Almost unbelievable that it runs. Now how do you run a drive belt to a toy?  ::)
Just kidding, pretty cool.

It’s unbelievable that something like that can be built AND shipped for such a low price!  :o

It is a noisy little engine, but an interesting design.

That was interesting Doug as I've seen them heaps of times and wondered how they functioned.

Another Chinese Stirling engine arrived today. I bought this one, mostly out of curiosity to see how it worked, as it did not have a flywheel of any kind.  It turned out to be a rather interesting engine.  At thirty two dollars US with free shipping, this might be the cheapest Stirling engine I have purchased so far!
