This simple unit can help the student understand the operating principle of pump and turbine. The unit consists of a rotor attached to a pulley via a shaft. It also includes 3 metal nozzles and a stopcock. When driven by a motor, the unit works as a pump, raising the water to higher potential energy. Whereas when the rotor is made to rotate by flowing water, the unit acts as a turbine.

Working model, with boiler, safety valve, whistle, steam chamber & flywheel, on base, to drive dynamo models etc.

To show the convection of heat in a liquid. Comprising a rectangle of 18 mm glass tubing, with short funnel at top.
