A flask over a Bunsen burner spinning
4F30.10

Materials: 4 small angled pipes, Flask with 4 holes, Water, Bunsen Burner, propane, 3 rods, 2 table clamps, 2 90 degree clamps

This demo is to show how you can create a steam turbine heating water and constricting the airflow to certain areas. This is done by setting up the demo by putting water in the flask then heating it. This will create steam that is constricted to very small holes propelling the flask in a circle creating a steam turbine.
