MS-199 PVG HERO ENGINE

To demonstrate the principle of the steam Engine and jet
propulsion. Flask type, consist of a 250 ml. Flask fitted with Rubber
stopper in the mouth and a jet assembly fitted in the rubber
stopper, suspended by metal chain with hook type arrangement.
When water is heated in the flask steam produced is ejected from
holes which makes the flask rotate.

MS- 199 HERO ENGINE

A simple and easy to use apparatus with a heating source i.e bunsen burner and a stand to hang the flask during experiment.

Usefull apparatus for physics laboratory students in thermodynamics.

Hero’s Engine demonstrates the principle of jet propulsion in Thermodynamics.

The apparatus consists of a small Round Bottom Borosilicate 3.3 Flask with a rubber stopper and two tubes with tangentially oriented jets. Flask is with a collar to hang it above a heating source i.e Bunsen Burner. When water boils inside the flask, steam escapes through the jets and the flask spins.

Heat from the Bunsen burner produces steam, which is directed to spin the Round bottom glass apparatus around a central axis, creating rotational motion i.e Thermal energy is converted to mechanical energy. Comparable to an electric motor where Electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy).
