A Do-It-Yourself Model Steam Engine An American tradition, this
solid brass and nickel plated steam engine is perfect for
learning more about mechanical energy, motion and the way
"things work". The steam engine runs on steam pressure made by
heating water in a boiler just as water is boiled in a tea
kettle. In the early 1700's, the first practical steam engines
were built to pump water. Over the years, though, steam engines
were used to operate many other types of equipment. This fully-
assembled Jensen Steam Engine is a great first engine! It is
equipped with seamless brass silver soldered boilers, deluxe 3"
power take off flywheel, safety valve, whistle & throttle valve,
nickel plated finish engine and boiler, water level gauge,
custom lube oil, filling funnel, dry fuel for 1 hour running
time (except electrics) and operator's manual. Includes pop
valve, whistle and throttle. (Uses Esbit Dry Fuel Tablets)
