My Santa knew I liked electricity, engineering, tinkering, and all things science.

They then apparently had an epiphany and sent me a gift that somehow covers all those bases and more- A working model of a Stirling heat engine complete with electrical generator!

I can't wait to do some polishing, fuel up the tank, and watch the magic of thermodynamics at work. I have two little budding engineers/scientists at home that I have a feeling are going to get a lot of joy out of this machine too (not to mention every guest that walks through the door).

Thanks so much Santa, your generosity is appreciated!
