Function
Hot air engine used for pumping water. Work is performed by the expansion of a gas being heated through the walls of the engine. These gases were alternately heated and cooled so that the change in pressure would exert work on a piston, which would in turn perform the task of pumping water.
Technical
Used to provide a powered supply of water before the electric motor was invented. Can run directly on any heat source as long as the temperature is high enough. Produces no CO and has a low level of nitrogen oxides. The speed of the engine is governed by a temperature difference. No risk of explosion and the engine is relatively easy to run. The greater the temperature difference between hot and cold reservoirs, the more vigorous and efficient the operation of the engine. External combustion, 8 inches.
