Today my 8-year old daughter and I put it together. The instructions are in chinese but the photos are clear enough for everyone to understand. A great educational toy, you can explain steam power and electrical power with it. It runs for only a short while each time (appr 1 minute). We had a great time!

My son and I really liked building this engine together. The manual has clear pictures for building, despite being all in Chinese. Used Google Translate on smartphone to read the manual in English. Anyway the engine works very well and there's a lot to learn from this. Combustion to Steam to Mechanical motion to Electrical power. Worth the money, I think. Putting too much water inside will take a long time to boil. Don't make the wick too long or you get a lot of soot buildup. Have Fun!!

It works very well, I'm 100% happy with it. Although the manual is written in Chinese, the pictures are a good reference and you can assemble it in 10-30 minutes depending on your experience and skills with kits. The generator isn't a DC motor like in most generator kits, it is a real AC generator module and produces AC (this information may be only useful for electronics hobbyists who want to power things with it). You can swap different colored LEDs in, especially bipolar two-colored LEDs that change color when polarity is swapped. This makes them alternate between the colors as the AC passes through them. All color LEDs are suitable, but NOT color-changing chip LEDs. Power generation is about 4-6V AC without a load and 2-3V with a 20mA load like a LED.
