The Mini Steam Engine, inspired by the aeolipile, also known as Hero's engine, is a radial steam turbine. Its design, attributed to Hero of Alexandria between 10 and 70 AD, operates by heating water within a spherical container to produce steam. As the steam exits through nozzles directed at right angles to the radial direction, Newton's third law causes the steam to produce a torque, resulting in rotation.

Features:

Unique Styling: This Mini Aeolipile steam engine features a small size and scale-like design, allowing for radial rotation. Its compact and novel appearance is sure to captivate attention.

Extremely Fine Craftsmanship: Crafted entirely from copper with delicate execution, every part resembles a treasure, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship.

Easy Operation: Utilizes liquid alcohol as fuel. Simply add water to the boiler, ignite the alcohol lamp, and watch it work for 5-10 minutes.

Priority Gift Option: Packaged elegantly, this steam engine makes a splendid gift for various applications, including kids' science projects, physical/mechanical learning, teacher demonstrations, and birthday gifts.

Warning:

1, After using it, please let the engine natural cool. Don't touch the alcohol burner, burned tube or the metal to avoid scald.
