Operation of a commercial steam engine is well illustrated with this working model.
The extra large size unit is provided with a horizontal boiler with a whistle, safety valve, steam gauge, on metal base.
Operates on 220V A.C. 50 Hz.
To show the forces which can be exerted during thermal expansion or contraction.
Comprising a heavy cast iron frame 340x120x100mm with slotted end pillars to carry a stout iron bar.
The bar is threaded at one end for a large tensioning nut and has holes at the other end to accommodate the cast iron breaking bars.
Supplied complete with ten breaking bars.
This model uses the same basic assembly as the motor, but is mounted on a baseplate 230 x 90 mm approx.
which also carries a hand-drive pulley 120mm.
diameter coupled to the smaller dynamo pulley by a rubber belt to give a step-up ration.
Electrical output is via a pair of 4mm sockets.
The model may also be used as a motor on a 6-8 V D.C. supply.
For use as a water turbine to drive a generator producing electricity or for use as a pump driven by a motor and raising a head of water to produce potential energy.
The rotor has eight 'bucket' blades and is housed in a block turbine chamber with a clear Perspex front.
Two inlet tubules (for turbine and pump operation respectively) and one outlet tubule are provided and the shaft carries a 15 mm.
diameter pulley.
With driving belt.

All parts in aluminium alloy.
Ignition is shown by means of a miniature bulb.
Carburetter and fuel supply also sectioned.
Mounted on metal base.
