It runs, and the belt turns a small generator on the base.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a hot-air engine: heat at one end of the glass tube, cool air at the other, and the pressure swing between them drives the piston. It is the same idea as the low-temperature model on a mug, with a flame instead of hot water, and it keeps going as long as there is fuel in the burner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbout 160 x 85 x 75 mm,\u003c\/strong\u003e per the maker.

With the generator connected it takes a little longer to warm up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBe careful with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe glass tube and the metal next to it get hot enough to burn. Run it on a surface that does not mind heat and do not leave a lit burner unattended.
