This kit requires that you carefully follow the instructions.
They tell you every detail. It takes careful construction and the Japanese text didn't help me but the pictures tell you everything you need to do.
You will not be disappointed in the quality of the parts and how well everything fits together. It gives you instructions on replacement parts and supplies an extra glass cylinder and baffle wool.
I highly recommend this kit.

Stirling Engine Kit |

I saw this and immediately WANTED it. I couldn't justify spending the money on myself. So I bought it for my son. He is 19 years old and is very mechanical. Christmas morning, he opened it. 8 hours later, he had it running.
The kit has nice components. The instructions are complete (24 pages in Japanese). And, there are a whole bunch of tiny details to get lost in. The cylinder mount and the gears need to be carefully aligned. This is one of the trickier parts. If you have it misaligned, there will be too much friction for the engine to run. A gauge is supplied to make this step easier.
This is for anyone who likes mechanical things. Being able to actually light it off and see it run captivates people.
On the downside, this is not an easy kit. They are not kidding when they say it is for adults. You need to look at the pictures very carefully. Take your time putting it together.
It's a lovely thing when you are done.
