Key Features
- Cut-away cross-section shows the internal parts.
- Piston, connecting rod, flywheel, eccentric and slide valve all visible.
- Hand-crank for slow-motion study of the cycle.
- Colour-coded steam ports.
- Stable base with non-slip feet.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Sectioned (cut-away) demonstration model |
| Parts shown | Piston, connecting rod, flywheel, eccentric, slide valve |
| Materials | Cast alloy and high-impact polymer, metal linkages |
| Operation | Hand crank |
| Ports | Colour-coded |
| Function | Non-working, demonstration only |
How It Is Used
The crank is turned slowly so students can follow how the eccentric drives the slide valve in step with the piston and how the connecting rod turns the flywheel. Because it is not pressurised, it can be handled freely while explaining how steam engines turn heat into rotary motion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Steam Engine Model run on steam?
No. It is a non-functional sectional model, operated by hand crank for demonstration only.
