Miniature sized steam engine made of transparent glass and piston movement looks good

With the improvement of the steam engine (steam engine) by Wat, the industrial revolution occurred in the world. Although it is a steam engine which became to be utilized as a power source of various things, improvement of the means of transportation by the invention of a steam locomotive changes the lives of people and it is expressed also as a traffic revolution.

First boil water.



The generated steam began moving the cylinder


Strong piston movement, this will turn into power



As long as hot water keeps boiling, steam is generated and the steam engine continues to move.


Because it is made of glass, the movement is easy to see, it looks interesting to put it on the desk.


· Bonus
This is a movie running a miniature Stirling engine. Because it is not made of glass, inside can not be seen.

Although the shape is different from the previous one, the principle that the piston is driven by pressure is the same.


Since it does not start moving easily, I am trying to move it with my fingers several times on the way.


Eventually, I started moving when I moved with my fingers several times.


Operating in double. I guess they like it much.
