This is probably the most minimal design for a sterling engine. As such it barely works. After about 3 hours of balancing, adjusting, fussing and tweaking I got it to oscillate for about 30 sec before it stalled out.

The brackets should be longer. Sometimes the marbles seemed to stick inside the tube rather than rolling. The instructions seem to be translated (? from german) and are sufficient on close reading. However, there is no troubleshooting section.

It is obvious what is supposed to happen. You can see the balloon expand and begin to tip the tube. So even if it doesn't actually work, you can learn something from trying to figure out why it doesn't work.

I could not get it to work - but it is insructional - i think i know how it SHOULD work. not worth the money. a more expensive engine is probably a better value.

This is an outstanding idea ruined by poor design & sloppy manufacturing. I'd recommend spending a little bit extra on a different kit that is more easily assembled, is better made, & allows for small adjustments.
