This Model of Stephenson's Steam Engine
made in 2008 by master glassblower Michal
adník.
Highlights:
* The crankshaft
lass. The piston is glass. The
terweight that makes the wheel spin
ly is glass. Imagine that everything is
out of glass.
* There are no
ants used. All is accomplished by a
ectly snug fit. The gap between the
on and its compartment is so small, that
water that condensates from the steam
s it shut!
* Notice the elaborate
ssive steam exhaust system next to the
on.
* The piston is the most arduous
to make due to to extreme level of
ision needed. Its parts have to be so
rate that no machinery is of use here.
piston and its cylinder must be hand
ed to perfection, and they are very
ly to crack in the process! On average,
e out of four crack. Less
