Remarkably small solar-powered steam engine is functional

Szymon Klimek is a master of what is a sublime combination of art and model engineering. A true craftsman, Szymon has a large gallery filled with his works of mechanical art and models, which also include this utterly small solar-powered brass engine model inside a wineglass. Having been honored by the Internet Craftsmanship Museum, Szymon has designed this steam engine with solar panel connected to the motor which lets the model replicate a real steam engine. The model is good enough to win hearts at any engineering exhibition, don’t believe me? Then hit the jump to see the model in action for yourself.
