I just found this on Hobby King. I an not sure what it is good for other than just look cool but it does a good job of that. I am temped to get on just to play with. Yeah I know kids! But you have to admit it is pretty cool. However a bit expensive for a paperweight...lol

That is pretty darn cool! Says they had it up to 400RPMs. lol

maybe that would work in that 250mph car that kid wants to build ...lol

i have never seen one like that ...its pretty cool ...looks a bit more complex than the ones i saw before .....i was tempted to build one a while back , but never got to it ....supposed to be pretty easy to make one at home

Do you want me to help you out again by buying it so you don't?
I think that's a VERY cool desktop accessory.

Looks like a Tomas Edison invention lol

Actually Ralph I thought about you when I saw that thing....IF I had a desk job still I WOULD have one sitting there. Sigh...maybe one of these days...lol. However, I still might get one just because.

I thought it was a steam engine. Even cooler, it's a heat engine. Nothing else needed.
