Item number 25087
Steam gyroscope - kit with detailed building instructions.
A tea light heats the copper pipe spiral and brings the water to the boil, the steam expels the water at the ends and creates a recoil, the steam condenses again and draws new water into the pipe. This process repeats itself several times per second as long as the heat is sufficient!
