Stirling Engine
This story is for Construticon week 2023 and is for Day 1 Scavenger and Piston. Started with a little 100 word fic hope you enjoy!
Work Text:
He watched the little propeller spinning around, it was simple, a glass piston heated by a small ethanol lamp to power the motor and turn the propeller. It was small, weak, and pointless really, maybe a piece of art and engineering for Scrapper and Hook to enjoy for a fleeting moment, something Mixmaster would try to improve by finding a better heat source, too hands off for LongHaul and Bonecrusher, but to Scavenger it a was beautiful decoration, a wonderful little waste of credits, a lovely little treasure that couldn't do much but he was happy to have found it.

Yeah this is a 100 words so I posted it here in full but here the Ao3 link!
Searching piston toys brought me to Stirling engines, if you were wondering, they are neat with little wheels you can set on a coffee cup for the same effect. Here the youtube video of the toy wrote about
