dutchartist 131 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Hello everyone. "What is this for a weird question??" you may ask. Yes, well, I thought I'd ask almost everyone I talk to on the web if they could help me out. I bought a miniature steam engine from ali express, but it doesn't work. Does anyone know what might be the problem? Thanks! https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/Funny-DIY-Mini-Air-Stirling-Engine-Motor-Model-Educational-Steam-Power-Toy-Electricity-Learning-Model-Toys/32832435866.html?scm=1007.13338.98644.000000000000000&scm_id=1007.13338.98644.000000000000000&scm-url=1007.13338.98644.000000000000000&pvid=19e05173-8f8a-49af-9cbf-b1aa7055fa5e&_t=pvid%3A19e05173-8f8a-49af-9cbf-b1aa7055fa5e%2Cscm-url%3A1007.13338.98644.000000000000000 Link to comment
Downjacket 162 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Your video doesn't work, but from the link to aliexpress it looks like a Sterling Engine (hot air) rather than steam. I suggest checking out yt channels like Keith Appleton. He does a lot of repairs on model steam engines, and his videos are kinda entertaining too. Learning the principles of how the engine should work is the best first step of finding out why it doesn't work. Link to comment
