About This Product
To run the model, 25-30 mL of water is put into the bulb and boiled. The increased pressure forces steam out through the jets, and the bulb spins rapidly, illustrating Newton's third law. The metal stand carries the bulb so that it is free to rotate about its horizontal axis. Didactic Africa can export the Hero's Engine to customers in Kuwait, Tunisia, Nicaragua, Belarus and Sierra Leone.
