The massive model # 51 is the
well known Crown Jewel of the Jensen Steam Engine line.
Randy Calhoun, who developed this technical marvel,
has graciously allowed us to share the original,
first of its kind, model #51. The design went
into production with only very few changes. The dual
AC generators and additional lamp posts were changed
in order to make use of an AC/ DC combination generator.
A small DC saw motor was added to allow for
demonstration of a bit more electrical theory.
The water tower was simplified for ease of production
and the internal wiring was streamlined and compactly
integrated into the engine base. Thanks go out
to Randy for allowing us a peek at his personal
masterpece. |
