Stirling engine producing mechanical motion from a difference of heat between top and bottom plates.
Directions from American Stirling Company:
Put about an inch of hot tap water in a coffee mug. Cover the mug with a paper plate and microwave the water until it is boiling vigorously. Be careful, boiling water is dangerous. Don't cover the mug with plastic wap, aluminm foil, or any tight fitting lid. When the water is finally boiling, remove the paper plate from the mug and place the engine on top. Wait thirty seconds, then flip the prop vigorously through in [the direction of the arrow indicated by the sticker]. ... the engine should start right up and run for several minutes.

Stirling engine producing mechanical motion from a difference of around 5 °C. Can be activated just by holding it in your hand, but recommended on cup of hot water.
Directions from 3B Scientific:
- Place the Stirling motor on the palm of your hand or a surface that is heated, e.g. on top of a cup of hot water.
- After about 1-2 minutes the base plate should have heated up sufficiently. On hot days, the temperature difference may not be great enough. If so, cool the top plate with a damp cloth.
- Spin the flywheel clockwise (looking towards the crankshaft).
- The Stirling motor rotates in an anti-clockwise direction when the top plate is heated, e.g. by sunlight or by a lamp. In this instance place the stirling motor on a cool surface such as a windowsill.
