TOYAN FS-100A Water-Cooled Methanol Engine Generator Model Kit with Radiator & 12V Output
Hero Section: A Miniature Power Plant on Your Desk
There is something mesmerizing about a water-cooled engine. The hum of the motor, the flow of coolant through the lines, and the steady rise of the temperature gauge—it’s a symphony of thermodynamics. This Modified TOYAN Methanol Generator Set takes the legendary FS-100A engine and transforms it into a fully functional, self-sustaining power station. Complete with a water pump, radiator, and digital thermometer, this isn't just a model; it’s a masterclass in mechanical engineering that you can own, operate, and learn from.
Why Choose This Water-Cooled Generator?
- Advanced Thermal Management: Unlike standard air-cooled models that can overheat during long runs, this unit features a custom-built water-cooling loop. With a dedicated water pump, reservoir, and radiator fan, it maintains optimal operating temperatures, allowing for longer, more stable run times.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Knowledge is power. The integrated digital thermometer gives you instant feedback on the engine's temperature, adding a layer of professional interaction and helping you protect your investment from overheating.
- Functional Power Generation: This isn't a static display. The engine drives a generator that outputs 12V (with a 5V stabilized USB port). It’s capable of powering the included USB light, charging a phone, or running small DIY electronic experiments.
- One-Key Electric Start: We’ve removed the frustration of manual starting. The kit comes with a starter battery and a one-key ignition system. Just fuel up, press the button, and watch it roar to life.
Technical Highlights: Engineering Deep Dive
- The Core: Powered by the genuine TOYAN FS-100A Single-Cylinder 4-Stroke Methanol Engine, known for its reliability, stable idling, and realistic exhaust note.
- The Loop: The cooling system mimics a real car. The pump circulates water from the tank, through the engine block, into the radiator (where heat is dissipated), and back to the tank.
- The Fuel: Optimized for 20-25% Nitromethane fuel (standard RC car fuel), providing a perfect balance of power and lubrication.
- Hand-Modified Craftsmanship: Please note that this is a custom-modified unit. The integration of the generator and cooling system is done by hand, meaning each unit is unique. Minor surface imperfections are a testament to its custom, workshop-built nature.

Usage Scenario: The Ultimate Science Experiment
Imagine a Saturday afternoon in your workshop. You fill the small coolant tank with water and the fuel tank with nitro. You press the start button. The engine catches, settling into a steady rhythm. You watch the water pump spin, circulating fluid through the clear tubes. The thermometer climbs and stabilizes. You plug in the USB light, and it illuminates your workspace. You aren't just playing with a toy; you are managing a complex energy system. It is the perfect tool for teaching physics, understanding internal combustion, or simply enjoying the mechanical arts.
Important Tips from the Workshop
- Power Limitations: This is a low-power generator designed for demonstration and small electronics (like LEDs or phone charging). Do not attempt to power high-wattage household appliances.
- Handmade Aesthetic: Because these units are modified by hand for the cooling and generation systems, slight scratches or machining marks are normal and do not affect performance.
- Safety First: The exhaust gets hot, and methanol fumes should be ventilated. Always operate in an open area. Monitor the thermometer to ensure the cooling system is flowing correctly.
