Simply bring a hot tea or water over 80C, and you will be able to get this engine moving. The bottom plate absorbs the heat while the top plate remains cooler due to the surrounding air. The heat expands the gas inside to push the piston. As the gas gets cooler, it contracts and pulls the piston back.
