Vintage Wilesco Steam Engine: a working model reciprocating piston steam engine complete with boiler, flywheel, governor, and whistle. The invention that powered the industrial revolution on a desktop! My father bought this model D16 in 1970- with just a little cleaning and oiling it fired right up. Wilesco has been producing model steam engines since 1960 and still manufactures and sells the D16. ➡️ Follow the link in my profile for a nice graphic showing how this engine works, and for info on where to get device and other amazing items featured here on @physicsfun #physics #physicsfun #physicstoy #heatengine #steamengine #thermodynamics #wilesco #livesteam #d16 #externalcombustionengine #rankinecycle #livesteamengine #science #scienceisawesome
