These collectible boat are powered by an actual steam engine. This wonderful little toy was invented in 1891 by an English gentleman, Thomas Piot. Even though they disappeared from the market, they are still around and difficult to find let alone own. The steamboats have great appeal to folks who loved them in their childhood and would like to share the memory of fun and theory with younger generations.
From the most technical to the simple toy lover, everyone has to at least have one Pulsating Water Engine (P.W.E.) boat or known as flash-steamers.
A mesmerizing joy to watch and listen to!!! Run ‘em in the sink, bathtub, swimming pool, fishpond, etc.
These little live steamboats will chug along with the sound of a real ‘tug boat’ for about 15 to 25 minutes on a flame from a small candle or a small amount of olive oil.
This is a Big Deal about a little toy, a toy that has fascinated everyone from children to physicists for over one hundred years. It is has a true heat engine ... Boats fitted with these simple devices are variously known as flash-steamers. A more accurate term for the 'motors' is Pulsating Water Engine (P.W.E.) since that is what they are.
WARNING!!::With open flame, small parts, and tin edges these boats are not intended for children, but rather adults or with adult supervision.
Remember BE SAFE: Take precautions with all flames in case anything goes wrong, and be very careful about handling anything hot!
