We have a teacup Stirling engine project in MAKE, Volume 17.
For those of you who are wondering, these are available as a kit on Ebay or from this website: http://www.stirlingengine.co.uk/index.asp.
They look to be beautifully crafted, and are available in many different colors. There is also an inverted model available.
Sorry, the link above isn’t working because of the period at the end. Here it is again: http://www.stirlingengine.co.uk/index.asp
I really thought this was a Stirling Tea Bag Dipper:(
