What is a good experiment for carnot cycle?

AI Thread Summary
A Stirling engine is proposed as a suitable project to demonstrate the Carnot cycle and its applications. The discussion emphasizes the need to explain the limitations of achieving a perfect Carnot engine. Clarification is sought regarding the initial inquiry about the experiment. The focus remains on using the Stirling engine to effectively illustrate these concepts. This approach aims to enhance understanding of thermodynamic principles.

i was thinking of making a stirling engine for a project to explain the carnot cycle and give the applications of the engine and also explain why is it impossible to get a perfect carnot engine
 
Thread 'Thermo Hydrodynamic Effect'

Thread 'Thermo Hydrodynamic Effect'

Vídeo: The footage was filmed in real time. The rotor takes advantage of the thermal agitation of the water. The agitation is uniform, so the resultant is zero. When the aluminum cylinders containing frozen water are immersed in the water, about 30% of their surface is in contact with the water, and the rest is thermally insulated by styrofoam. This creates an imbalance in the agitation: the cold side of the water "shrinks," so that the hot side pushes the cylinders toward the cold...
