Gakken Otona no Kagaku Mini V-twin Steam Engine

This Gakken Otona no Kagaku Mini V-twin Steam Engine is educational, challenging, and tremendous fun. Harness 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 power a maximum output of 2,000 rotations! Then you can connect the assembled steam engine to a toy vehicle with a pulley and create a moving railway or automobile. The twin cylinders are adjustable by 72-180 degrees, so exercise your engineering prowess by experimenting with different angles.
