This paper shows the design and construction of a Stirling engine prototype as an alternative to generate electricity as well as a teaching tool to be used with mechanical electrical engineering students. The engine will be coupled with a DC generator feeding a LED. The projected outcome power is 6W at a 12 V operation level.
