Enjomor Watt Steam Engine Model with Vertical Reactor Boiler Science Project Kit
Hero Section: Build Your Own Industrial Revolution
Step back into the age of steam with a twist of modern engineering. The Enjomor Watt Reactor Model isn't just a replica; it’s a fully functional miniature power plant. Featuring a unique vertical "Reactor" style boiler and a classic Watt-style engine, this set transforms your desktop into a kinetic history museum. Watch as the pressure gauge climbs, the steam mist rises, and the flywheel spins with a rhythmic, mechanical heartbeat. It is the ultimate hands-on experience for history buffs, aspiring engineers, and anyone fascinated by the power of thermal energy.
Why Choose the Enjomor Watt Reactor?
This model stands out from standard steam engines with its distinctive design and interactive features.
- Unique "Reactor" Boiler Design: Unlike traditional horizontal boilers, this model features a vertical "Reactor" furnace (135mm diameter). This not only gives it a striking, sci-fi steampunk aesthetic but also ensures even heat distribution for efficient steam generation.
- Total Control: You are the engineer. Equipped with a real-time pressure monitoring instrument and a hand-operated throttle valve, you can precisely adjust the air intake and speed of the engine, giving you a level of interaction that static models lack.
- Immersive Experience: The engine is designed to simulate real steam mist during operation. Combined with the mechanical noise and the visual movement of the linkage, it offers a deeply satisfying sensory experience.
- Heavy-Duty Build: Weighing in at 1.8kg, this is a substantial piece of machinery. Made entirely of metal with a retro finish, it feels premium and durable, making it a worthy centerpiece for any collection.
Technical Highlights: The Expert’s View
- Safety Engineering: High-pressure steam requires respect. This unit features a splash-proof exhaust pipe to keep your workspace clean and a vertical reactor design that releases pressure evenly. The integrated pressure gauge allows you to monitor the boiler status (target start pressure: 0.5bar) at a glance.
- Watt Linkage Mechanism: The engine utilizes the classic principles of the Watt steam engine, converting reciprocating motion into rotational force smoothly. It’s a perfect physical demonstration of the Rankine cycle.
- Optimized Fuel/Water Ratio: The system is tuned for a 40ml fuel load (95% alcohol) against an 80ml water capacity. This ratio ensures a solid run time without overheating the system.

Usage Scenario: The Science Project
It’s a weekend afternoon. You set the heavy metal base on your desk. Using the included funnel, you carefully add 80ml of water to the reactor and 40ml of alcohol to the lamp. You connect the high-pressure tube with the wrench. You light the wick. For four minutes, you watch the needle on the pressure gauge slowly rise. It hits 0.5 bar. You turn the throttle valve counter-clockwise, give the flywheel a spin, and the engine roars to life, puffing steam and turning heat into power. It’s physics brought to life.
Important Tips
- Pressure Management: Do not attempt to start the engine immediately. Allow the boiler to build pressure to 0.5 bar (approx. 4 minutes of heating) before opening the valve.
- Safety First: The reactor and engine parts become extremely hot. Never touch the metal components during operation. Always supervise children (14+).
- Prevent Dry Burning: Never run the boiler without water. This will damage the seals and the reactor structure. Always check water levels before lighting the lamp.
