The Hero engine was first created over 2000 years ago and it is still a great demonstration of physics. To build a Hero Engine all we need are some common household items. A soda can, a nail and some fishing line (or strong string). By applying a heat source to the can we can force motion by propelling the can itself into a spinning and amazing action.
