Classic Drinking Bird

    $0.00

    There is more than meets the eye in the Classic Drinking Bird. At first, everything looks simple. It’s a dumb-looking bird with a felt-covered head and plastic feet who can’t get its fill of water and keeps drinking, perpetually thirsty. But wait! How does it keep moving without batteries or magnets of any kind?

    The Classic Drinking Bird is, in fact, a heat engine that uses a thermodynamic cycle to converts heat energy into pressure differences in order to do mechanical work. What does that mean? In the simplest explanations, fluid inside condenses from the evaporative cooling of the water off the bird’s beak, making it top heavy and dunking it back into the water. The condensation rejoins the liquid pool in the bird’s bulb, and he tips up again.

    Please beware that while the Classic Drinking Bird is very fascinating and educational to little ones, it is fragile and easily broken. The liquid inside can permanently stain, and is harmful to the skin.
