Small Steam Engine with Horizontal Boiler
Model Number: MT-1239
The Small Steam Engine with Horizontal Boiler from Micro Technologies is a compact demonstration apparatus designed to illustrate steam generation, reciprocating engine motion, flywheel rotation and thermal-to-mechanical energy conversion. The MT-1239 features a horizontally mounted boiler with a visible engine and flywheel mechanism arranged on a stable bench-top base for practical steam-engine demonstrations.
Product Specification
The Small Steam Engine with Horizontal Boiler from Micro Technologies is a compact laboratory demonstration model designed for studying the basic construction and operation of a steam-powered reciprocating engine. Its integrated arrangement combines a horizontal boiler and visible mechanical engine mechanism on a common base.
The MT-1239 incorporates a small horizontally positioned cylindrical boiler supported above the base. The boiler arrangement represents the steam-generation section of the system and provides a clear demonstration of the relationship between steam production and mechanical engine operation.
The steam-engine mechanism is positioned alongside the boiler and incorporates a visible piston arrangement, mechanical linkage and flywheel. This open construction allows the motion of the principal mechanical components to be observed during suitable demonstrations.
As the engine mechanism operates, reciprocating movement is transmitted through the connecting arrangement to produce rotation of the flywheel. The model therefore provides a practical representation of the conversion of reciprocating linear motion into continuous rotary motion.
The flywheel provides a clear visual reference for the rotary output of the engine mechanism and helps demonstrate its role in maintaining smoother rotational movement during the operating cycle.
The apparatus is also useful for demonstrating the broader concept of energy conversion in steam-powered systems, where thermal energy is used to generate steam and the resulting pressure is converted into mechanical motion.
Its small-size configuration makes the MT-1239 suitable where laboratory bench space is limited. The integrated base keeps the boiler and engine components in a convenient arrangement for observation and demonstration.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Small Steam Engine with Horizontal Boiler is suitable for mechanical engineering laboratories, thermal engineering laboratories, steam-power laboratories, engineering training facilities, research laboratories and technical demonstration applications.
