II. PROCEDURES

1. Construct the stand for the disc and syringe in the ply board base (shown in fig.2).
2. Connect the disc on its stand (shown in fig.3).
3. Attach the soda can to the syringe using epoxy steel (shown in fig.4). The soda can
will serve as the reservoir where air inside the can is heated continuously that will
drive the piston in the syringe.
4. Attach the connecting rod to the disc and to the syringe using glue stick. Fix the
syringe on its stand (shown in fig.5).
5. Applying another layer of Epoxy steel to the syringe and soda can to prevent
leakage (shown in fig.6).

FINDINGS:
During the pre-testing shown in fig. 7, our design of stirling engine didn’t work because
there’s leakage in the syringe that serves as our piston and cylinder. The hot air escapes because we
remove the rubber in the syringe to lessen the friction, as a result the clearance between the piston and
cylinder becomes large.
