Features:

• Recommended for ages 14+ years
• UGears Pneumatic Engine mimics the working of a steam engine to perfection
• Blow into the socket or use an ordinary inflated balloon to start the pistons and levers chugging away like those of a vintage steam engine
• The Pneumatic Engine is a small but fully functional example of a steam engine
• Use an ordinary inflated balloon and watch the pistons and gears chug along just like the locomotive engines of yesteryear
• The UGears Pneumatic Engine model kit mimics the workings of an old-fashioned steam engine to perfection, but using simple air pressure instead of dirty coal and steam
• Its fully functional pneumatic mechanism generates real pressure coupled with the iconic noise that pneumatic engines are known for
• Experience the thrilling whir of pneumatically-powered wheels spinning and imagine how they could have been hitched to all sorts of wondrous machines a hundred years ago to power them
• Watch the air pressure gauge respond to the force you create and see how it corresponds to the motion of the engine wheels and the crescendo of the hissing pneumatic drive
• Relive the age of steam in a bite-sized package that will fit on your desk or table, or use the model machine for educational purposes
• The UGears Pneumatic Engine is the perfect demonstrative tool for learning about machining, potential and kinetic energy, mechanical tolerances, and certain basics of physics like the transfer of energy between objects
• Not only do you have the opportunity to see every component as you build it yourself, but the open-top model also provides an unobstructed view of the workings of the machine as it converts air pressure into motion
• Observe the actual mechanism of these fascinating historical machines as all the parts erupt in motion
• This fully functioning steam-powered engine is an example of steam operating mechanisms of the past era
