[AT] OT-steam engine

[Ken Knierim]

I'm trying to put together a small solar demonstrator for my
daughter's science class. I've taken an old dish network satellite
dish and had that chrome plated so I have a wonderful reflector. It's
great for setting things on fire but I was looking to show the kids a
little more use than firestarting. What I was hoping to do is to get
one of the little toy Jensen steam engines that demonstrated steam
power. They had a small boiler, a piston and a flywheel and whatnot...
I was thinking I could put together something with the satellite dish
concentrating heat on a small tube and feeding the resulting steam
into one of those little steam engines to show the kids real solar
power.

anyone have one laying around they'd be willing to part with for a few bucks?

thanks
