Presently steam-engines are a part of history. Now it is rare where it is possible to see the steam engine operating in the industry, except for combined heat and power plants and legendary engines most of which part did not go for melting, and is in a reserve, it is preserved in case of war. The full-fledged steam engine which can be put into practice, in house conditions to make it is quite problematic, but to make small model of the steam turbine quite really.
It is required to you
- Can, two covers from banks, tubes, a tin strip, water, a heating element.
Instruction
1. Take a can and cut off at it a cover. Process places of cuts at banks and at a cover so that they were smooth.
2. Further, make two openings in a cover. Solder a nut to one opening and in advance pick up to it a bolt (it will be a jellied opening). And insert a metal tubule (union) into the second opening and too, well solder it.
3. Then, insert a cover back in bank and hermetically solder it. This design will be a copper.
4. After that, take one more cover from a can (it will be the turbine) and in its center make a small opening. Then, scissors, from the periphery of a round cover to its center make cuts on all circle, approximately to a half of radius of a cover. Bend places between cuts so that the krylchatka turned out (it will be turbine shovels).
5. Take a strip from tin and on both of its ends make on an opening. Further, give to a strip the P-shaped form (it will be the holder of the turbine) that openings were the friend opposite to the friend.
6. In an opening which is in the center of the turbine seal a thin tubule. Insert a core (the turbine has to turn easily on a core) into this tubule, and seal the ends of a core in openings in the P-shaped holder.
7. The holder together with the turbine solder to a copper cover so that the union of a copper was directed to shovels of the turbine and not to close a jellied opening. Fill in water in a copper, close a jellied opening a bolt and heat it. When boiling water, the vapor jet which is going out of the union will press on turbine shovels, thereby setting it in motion.
