How is the Stirling Engine Advancing Power Generation and Sustainability?

In summary, a Stirling engine is an external combustion engine that uses two pistons and a sealed gas to convert heat energy into mechanical work. It operates on the principle of cyclic compression and expansion of the gas, creating a continuous flow of power. The engine is known for its high efficiency, low emissions, and versatility in using various heat sources such as solar, biomass, and waste heat. It has been used in various applications, including power generation, heating and cooling, and mechanical drives. The Stirling engine continues to be a subject of research and development for its potential to reduce carbon emissions and provide sustainable energy solutions.

Does anyone know where to buy a cheap Stirling engine that will be used for a classroom presentation? I tried eBay but they are selling anywhere between $130 - $300, and that's way more than I want to spend for a 5 min one time presentation.
Thanks
