We entered this experiment with extremely determined mindsets because we understood the challenge we were going to embark upon. For future groups,  we highly recommend getting multiple things of each needed material for this experiment because you will mess up and need a new one. Also, looking back on this experiment we wished our preparation and gathering materials was better because we lacked items that were implemented in those pertaining steps. We spent too much time looking for materials, which created a huge void for us to fill the lost time. Future courageous groups should spend the first couple classes watching the tutorial videos and setting up a good game plan to attack this challenging project. Another recommendation would be to extremely patient with the process because each step involves very intricate detail. The experiment, at times, is really frustrating, due to the complexity of its design. We found ourselves getting angry and keep redoing steps until we perfected that stage of development. Eventually, we reached demo day, where we discussed how the Stirling Engine was constructed. Also, we added heat to the bottom of the base Can, in order to create the spinning wheel effect. The heat just ended up burning the bottom of the can and didn't create the spinning motion.Unfortunately, our engine failed, but I think that we were still proud of our end result. Donny and I spent tireless hours on perfecting our final design and created an engine that we thought it was nearly impossible to build. Looking upon the guidelines for this engine, we really doubted our abilities to make the design. We took a leap of faith and although we didn’t get positive results, it didn’t matter because Donny and I tried something new. In conclusion, we believe that future groups will learn from our mistakes and succeed in making incredible Stirling engines.
