Horizontal Steam Engine with Electric Heater
Model Number: MT-1241
The Horizontal Steam Engine with Electric Heater from Micro Technologies is a practical steam-engine demonstration apparatus designed to illustrate steam generation, reciprocating piston motion, crank mechanism operation, flywheel rotation and thermal-to-mechanical energy conversion. The MT-1241 features a horizontal boiler arrangement with integrated electric heating and a visible engine mechanism mounted on a stable laboratory base.
Product Specification
The Horizontal Steam Engine with Electric Heater from Micro Technologies is designed for laboratory demonstration of steam generation and mechanical power conversion using an electrically heated boiler arrangement. The apparatus provides a clean and convenient alternative to fuel-fired models where electric heating is preferred.
The MT-1241 features a horizontal cylindrical boiler assembly equipped with an electric heating arrangement for generating steam under controlled operating conditions. The boiler is mounted on a rigid base along with the visible steam-engine mechanism.
Steam generated in the boiler is directed to the engine section, where pressure acts on the piston mechanism to create reciprocating motion. This movement is transmitted through the connecting rod and crank arrangement to the flywheel.
A visible flywheel demonstrates the conversion of reciprocating motion into rotary motion and helps illustrate the role of rotational inertia in a reciprocating engine system.
The open mechanical arrangement allows the movement of the piston, connecting rod, crank and flywheel to be clearly observed during operation. This makes the apparatus useful for practical demonstrations of steam-engine kinematics and mechanical energy conversion.
The electric heater provides a convenient heat source without requiring separate liquid or solid fuel. This makes the MT-1241 particularly suitable for controlled indoor laboratory environments where cleaner operation and straightforward electrical heating are desirable.
The apparatus is also useful for demonstrating the broader concept of thermal energy being converted into steam energy and then into mechanical work through the reciprocating engine mechanism.
Its bench-top design keeps the boiler, electric heating system, engine mechanism and flywheel integrated into a single laboratory unit, simplifying setup and observation.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Horizontal Steam Engine with Electric Heater is suitable for mechanical engineering laboratories, thermal engineering laboratories, steam-power laboratories, research facilities, technical training centers and industrial demonstration applications.
