Great demo on "thrust from steam" ! Thank you.

This woman created what is referred to as a Hero´s steam engine or an aeropile (probably misspelled).

amazing time to go and share this with my grand father he loves steam engines

[IsabelSofíaDurangoGoez]

I didn't understand a word because I speak in Spanish and I added subtitles but this helped me a lot with the task I'm going to do, thank you

How can I make it look more like an actual engine, like if I paint it will the flame effect that or anything?

[ajinkyahhulawale]

it is very simple experiment I LOVE IT is good

[yuvrajvaghela]

it's helpful for my school project.thank you.

I really appreciate your work @FlinnScientific, but it will be better to use this energy for something or making free electricity current.

[kadenlarson]

could you put that on more secure poles one on top and bottom of the can, (with bearings) and put the bunsen burner at an angle to the can so the can is more stable so it can go at higher speeds

This vedio has made my understanding easier ..

[AbdulWadood-ouqb]

Thanks for understanding such phenomena practically that much easily

I tried this with a candle. The can was obviously filled with piping hot steam for it was very hot to the touch. However, the can did spin a bit, but barely moved other than that. Was it the flame temperature, or what?

[phazer]

Could you turn this into a functional engine? For a miniature steam boat?

Instructions unclear… accidentally shotgunned 13 beers and woke up in a Hardee’s dumpster.

[kaushikbhandari]

thanks a lot for this superb 💡idea. Its so easy 😊

[aniskyymusic]

Was considering trying to make a fan powered by something like this

[marcushendriksen]

Legend has it that the gas valve broke after making this video, sending the can boring uncontrollably into the fabric of spacetime itself

[pathfinder]

make a shaft instead of a rope, then hook up a small e-motor to power things up,

[chriscycles]

I have a question: can you do that with only a candle?
