Micro Stirling Engine! I've Never Even Seen One Before - Can I Fix It?

Micro Stirling Engine! - In this episode I'm trying to repair something mechanical instead of electrical. I bought a HOG Micro Motor Stirling Engine on eBay. It had two broken glass bulbs and some loose parts. Sometimes getting replacement parts is the most difficult part for me when repairing items like this - that and working on things I've never even seen before.

About This Video: I'm trying to repair something totally new for me - a HOG Micro Stirling Engine. This engine works by using a flame to heat up the air inside two glass bulbs. Once the air is hot enough the motor will keep working after you get it started. Should be pretty cool!
