Stirling Engine Fan —Made from a cookie can

Here is my ‘Cookie Can Stirling’ with a fan blade on it instead of a flywheel. This is a proof of concept model and would have to be completely redesigned to be of any useful purpose. It does prove that a Stirling engine (even a homemade simple one) can do work. Commercial fans like this are available and I have seen models that work from the heat from a wood burning stove. They are used in rural cabins to help circulate heat in the cabin
