DOLL VERTICAL STEAM ENGINE

This vertical steam engine is in remarkable condition considering its age. The components appear to be in working condition. The large wheel and the mounted piston work in unison when either piece is moved, and the many valves open and close smoothly without resistance. The casting identification on the bottom of the base reads: GB 1637. This extrordinary piece of history would make a fine addition to any collection.



Outstanding German Toy Steam Engine, tin, cast iron, nickeled brass and wood being an upright model engine with alcohol-fired removable burner, five working valves, each with black-finished turned wooden handles, piston and flywheel and working pressure gauge with removable stack in original black, green and red paint, 6" square x 17.5" high.

Not a Stirling but an unconventional heat engine in which the piston, on the outward stroke and driven by the flywheels, draws a flame and hot gas into the cylinder through a valve in the cylinder head which is held open during this half-cycle.
At the bottom of the stroke the valve is closed and the gas, now cooled by the water jacket, contracts. The resulting drop in internal pressure allows external air pressure to drive the piston back on its inward stroke, storing energy in the flywheels. As it approaches TDC the internal pressure rises to equal the external, but the piston continues on its stroke, now driven by the flywheels, and with any further rise in internal pressure prevented by the valve opening.
When the piston reaches TDC the cycle is complete and begins again on the outward stroke.
The engine produces very little useable power but does make a splendid noise due to the flame and gasses being alternately drawn into, and blown away from, the valve.
