Replica electric motor

One of my dad's hobbies was building small steam engines. In 1980 he built an engine that did not run on steam but electricity. It was a replica of the electric motor from Charles C. Page (1846). This engine mimics a steam engine with two pistons which have become electric coils.


This replica really works although the coils get very hot. I keep the replica safe on one of my shelves.
