Your engine is far too inefficient to generate the pressure needed to do anything useful. It has similar defects exhibited by the stream engine designed by Hero of Alexandria, the aeolipile, which consumed a lot of fuel for basically nothing but the bare minimum able to overcome the inertia of the mechanism. The can radiates much more heat to the atmosphere than is translated to the water inside as steam, and the pinhole allows the steam to escape before any significant pressure can build up. Highly efficient yet very small alcohol-fueled steam turbines have been made. The Mark 14 torpedo of WWII operated with such an engine and could reach 46 knots over a distance of 4500 yards. However, the devil is in the details. The required efficiency is not easy to achieve.
"Pretty cool"!👍🏆
Этот эксперимент лучше показывать на кораблях. Я в детстве так делал.
