The engine is not self-starting; you will need 
to give the flywheel a little spin to get it 
going. After the engine has been on your 
heat source for half a minute to a minute 
gently spin the wheel and it should carry on 
running.  
 
The engine has been designed to run on 
hand heat, but will run equally as well from a 
wide variety of heat sources, including 
Digital TV box, adsl modem, table lamp, hot 
water - tea or coffee, warm sunlight. 
 
The engine will operate in reverse if you 
place it on a bowl of ice, this is because 
Stirling engines operate on a temperature 
difference, and it doesn't matter if the top 
plate is cool, as in conventional running, or 
the bottom plate is cool, as in ice running.
