Vulcan Mini Stove-Top Stirling Engine Fan

What does it do?

The Vulcan Mini stove fan is a Stirling engine powered fan that quietly and efficiently circulates warm air from your wood stove, coal stove or other heat source, through your home or workshop, dramatically increasing the effectiveness of your heating appliance and improving your comfort level. No longer will you have to stoke your stove to blazing hot temperatures only to end up with a VERY hot area in the direct proximity of your stove and mildly warm air across the room. The Vulcan stove fan helps to uniformly circulate the air, leaving you a cozy, comfortable atmosphere to enjoy while reducing the amount of fuel your appliance consumes. In addition, the Vulcan costs you absolutely nothing to operate!

How does it work?

The Vulcan stove fan does not require any electricity and is powered just from the heat of your stove. It utilizes a small, quiet Stirling cycle power plant built into the fan, making it a very eco friendly fan.

The Stirling cycle power plant obtains its power from rapidly heating and cooling the same volume of air. When the air is heated, it expands, pushing a piston upward; when the same volume of air is rapidly cooled, it contracts, pulling the same piston downward, providing power. The same volume of air is heated and cooled very rapidly converting the heat energy to mechanical energy used to turn the fan blade.

The Vulcan Mini Stove Fan is named after Vulcan, the ancient Roman god of fire.
