Academy Pumping Engine

Description

From the Manufacturer Academy’s Pumping Engine is a Snap-Together, Educational
Kit that requires no glue, no tools, and no painting to complete. Very easy to
assemble, you will have an historically accurate, actual working reproduction
of an early 19th century Pumping Engine. Academy’s technical engineers
captured the wonders of this mechanical masterpiece, making the model a joy to
build, display or operate. You can demonstrate the operating principles of
pumping engines using water. The Water Pumping Engine was used during the
Industrial Revolution for pumping water out of the mines. When the crank is
turned, the piston inside the cylinder creates a vacuum and the atmospheric
pressure draws the water up the pipe until the cylinder is full. All this
precision of a working model and it simply snaps together. This highly
educational kit looks great on a shelf, will teach the budding engineer the
principles of a water pumping system, and will make a terrific school or
“show-and-tell” project.
