About this app
A running cutaway model: glass cylinder with piston, crosshead, connecting rod, slide valve and a large spoked flywheel — driven via the slider crank. Steam supply and load adjustable; Watt's centrifugal governor holds the speed automatically (feedback). Steam plumes on the exhaust beat.
