Steam machine D2

The stars given on a steam engine indicate their minimum power. The star specification for drive models shows the power required to operate the model. The sum of all stars of the drive models to be operated should not exceed the star number of the steam engine. The stationary steam engine D2 is the smallest in the Wilesco steam engine program. Many will not pass this small beauty. With a special tealight made of beeswax, the filigree oscillating cylinder purrs up and down and quickly drives the glittering flywheel. It’s a pleasure to watch this mechanical masterpiece. The contents of the kettle last for more than 30 minutes. The steam engine In 1712, Thomas Newcomen designed the first operational steam engine. It was used to pump water from a mine. The Newcomensche steam engine, however, had only a very low efficiency. James Watts improved the efficiency of the newcomenschen machine, which he patented in 1769. This machine is considered the first steam expansion machine. The development of the steam engine happened in the second. half of the 18th century a new era. This was followed by rapid progress in industry, agriculture and transport. Wilesco- steam engines are toys with tradition. Like their role models, the Wilesco steam engines convert heat into mechanical energy, which can be used to power models. In contrast to combustion or electric motors, the individual stages of energy conversion are visible and thus the learning effect is very large. Turbines and internal combustion engines have replaced the steam engine as a source of power. Nevertheless, or just because of this, the steam engine is still the dream of many people of all ages today. Wilesco steam engines provide a wealth of inspiration and give every owner the opportunity to work on a model scale of fire and water.
