Steam Engine Lab

Turn heat and steam into visible motion.

Explore a fictional miniature bench engine through an offline teaching model. Adjust heat, water, steam admission, valve timing, load, and flywheel inertia, then inspect the model’s response on iPhone or iPad.

Pressure → motion
offlinedeterministic model

See the cycle

Follow boiler, steam chest, cylinder, crank, and flywheel state from one complete simulation snapshot.

Run experiments

Change cutoff, load, and heat input, then compare telemetry and an illustrative pressure-volume trace.

Keep your runs

Save and replay experiments locally, with optional JSON and CSV export that you control.

Honest scope

A teaching model, not boiler guidance.

Steam Engine Lab uses simplified educational equations and simulated estimates. It is not pressure-vessel, maintenance, safety, certification, operating, or professional engineering guidance.
