Candle-powered Stirling hot-air engines
Posted By: Asmita Prasad | Feb 14 2008
Now this is what I call mileage! Created by a Dutch designer who calls himself Jos the Finch, these amazing Stirling Engines are powered by the heat of waxinelichtjes, or squat tea light candles. If you put a sturdy candle with the right model, the engines can run for hours apparently! Hey Jos, you planning on building a car anytime soon? Watch the Stirling in action after the jump.
