Stirling engines have been used frequently for the explanations of the environmental and energy saving education, because they have excellent characteristics which are high thermal efficiency, multi-fuel capability and low pollution. Since Stirling engines work relatively in the range of low gas pressure compared with the internal combustion engines, the models of Stirling engines have been used as teaching materials in the thermal energy education. However, the principle of Stirling cycle is difficult to understand. For this reason, CG animation multi-media content dealing with the operation principle of the Stirling engine was developed for the sake of promoting the understanding of its principle to students. This content was pretested in a teaching training for the teachers of elementary school, junior high school and high school and evaluated by questionnaire. The questionnaire result showed that the most teachers realized the animation contents were very good to understand the principle of the Stirling engine.
