Steam Engine Model
Product Code : EL-AELE-10739
Steam Engine Model (code EL-AELE-10739) is a teaching model of a horizontal steam engine with piston valve control, showing the internal structure and operating principle of a working steam engine. Turning the flywheel sets it in motion, and its cross-sectioned metal cylinder, covered with a clear plate, shows the piston and slide valve moving while the link motion, reversing method and built-on centrifugal governor operate; the model measures approx. 450 × 350 × 300 mm.

What Is the Steam Engine Model Used For?
A steam engine converts the pressure of steam into motion: steam admitted by the valve pushes the piston along the cylinder, and the crank turns this back-and-forth movement into rotation of the flywheel. With the flywheel turned by hand, students watch through the clear plate as the piston and slide valve move, see the link motion alter the valve action when the reversing method is operated, and observe the centrifugal governor that controls speed on a running engine. The wheel turns so freely that a breath of air is enough to start it, which lets the cycle be shown slowly and repeated as often as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of steam engine is modelled?
It models a horizontal steam engine with piston valve control, built to show the internal structure and operating principles of a working engine.
Can the piston be seen moving?
Yes, the metal cylinder is cross-section cut and covered with a clear plate, so the movement of the piston inside the cylinder can be watched as the flywheel turns.
How is the model set in motion?
It is put in motion by turning the flywheel, and the wheel moves lightly enough that even blowing air from the mouth can turn it.
Which mechanisms can students observe?
Students can observe the piston and slide valve moving, the link motion and reversing method operating, and the built-on centrifugal governor.
What does the centrifugal governor do?
On a running engine its rotating weights fly outwards as speed rises and move a linkage that reduces the steam supply, which holds the engine speed steady.
What are its dimensions?
The model is roughly 450 mm long, 350 mm wide and 300 mm high, and it weighs around 9 kg.
