This Working Mini V-Twin Steam Engines is an educational gadget that looks super cool. Leave it on display in your home or office, and people are sure to wonder about it, giving you the chance to show off this working engine.
As an educational tool, it not only teaches the power of steam, but this mini V-twin engine actually lets you adjust the V angle to experiment with values between 72 and 180 degrees. Will 90 degrees work best with this V-twin engine? I am anxious to get one of these and test it for myself.
This Gakken Otona no Kagaku Mini V-Twin steam engine is educational, challenging and tremendous fun. Use the power of steam to run a v-twin engine that you build yourself. Use a syringe to put water in the tank and then light the alcohol burner lamp. This will make a maximum output of 2,000 rotations! Then you can connect the assembled steam engine with a toy car with a pulley and create a moving railway or car. The twin cylinders are adjustable by 72-180 degrees, so practice your engineering skills by experimenting with different angles.
This Gakken Otona no Kagaku Mini V-Twin Steamer is JPY 11,900 ($110) at the Japan Trend Shop. That is quite expensive, but there are similar ones on ebay for much cheaper.
