Jensen Steam Engine Dry Fuel Heated 76

by American Science & Surplus

Product Description

A Do-It-Yourself Model Steam Engine -- -- An American tradition, this solid brass and nickel plated steam engine is perfect for learning more about mechanical energy, motion and the way "things work". -- -- The steam engine runs on steam pressure made by heating water in a boiler just as water is boiled in a tea kettle. In the early 1700's, the first practical steam engines were built to pump water. Over the years, though, steam engines were used to operate many other types of equipment. -- This fully-assembled Jensen Steam Engine is a great first engine! It is equipped with seamless brass silver soldered boilers, deluxe 3" power take off flywheel, safety valve, whistle & throttle valve, nickel plated finish engine and boiler, water level gauge, custom lube oil, filling funnel, dry fuel for 1 hour running time (except electrics) and operator's manual. -- Includes pop valve, whistle and throttle. -- (Uses Esbit Dry Fuel Tablets)

This is nice little live steam stationary engine - I use it to drive a small model machine shop my Dad gave me - Very nice little engine - great for class room demonstration of a stationary steam engine of days gone by. I would recommend that little children don't play with it -it gets very hot.

I've had one of these for about 45 years and it still works like it did when I got it.
I have the dry fuel model and the only problem I had was finding the fuel pellets for a few years.
I used to use Sterno instead of the pellets and it worked fine.
I also had a couple of tools that could be hooked up to the engine and run from it.
Every now and then I still start it up just to watch it run.

I owned one when I was a kid so I bought it for my grandson. It is fun to bring it out once in a while and run it for myself or for friends.
