A Stirling engine is a heat engine that operates by cyclic compression and expansion of air or other gas (the working fluid) at different temperatures, such that there is a net conversion of heat energy to mechanical work. In the results of stirling engine experiments obtained that the influence of temperature on the speed of turning the wheel (Rpm) where the more heat the temperature is given, the greater the speed of turning the wheel produced. At a power crank distance of 3.6 cm, the resulting linearity value of 99% is obtained, at a power crank distance of 0.05 cm the linearity value of 98.69% is obtained while at the minimum distance the resulting linearity value of 98.51% is obtained. The effect of the distance of the power crank also affects the rotating speed of the wheels (Rpm) and the generated electrical energy. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
