Engine no 10, 'Robot'

This is an engine that even runs on solar energy using a shaving mirror on a bright sunny day.
This engine runs on a tea-warmer in both the vertical and horizontal positions.
The design has been kept very simple to enable the engine to run as easily as possible. It even runs on the heat of a light-bulb.

With this engine I have also tried to emphasise the artistic aspect through a cleaner design. I have named this engine 'Robot' because it is a versatile engine with a great variety of different movements.
When the flywheels are in the lower position and the displacer is indirectly heated by means of the little hat it looks like a robot.

@Helloozin Think about what heats the water. Unless it's heated using solar power or something like that, you would have to burn coal or wood. That's the polluting part

I love how the first top comment is all sweet and nice and beautiful, and then the second one is "hahaha double penetration".

@devil614 it's a steampunk engine...meaning it's powered by steam which is evaporated water...where's the pollution part?

[devil614]

Hooray for pollution power! :(

I'd like one, but only one shop in my town stocks them. It's not as nice looking as this one and it's $400. I would like one as a kitset so I can put it together myself.

bautiful, but not a robot!
