Pay attention to the difference between the
"water storage tank" and the "air+water tank"
— you will need to be able to tell them apart by
name to properly build the models!
Pressurized
Air+Water Tank
"A" is the entrance
nozzle and "B" is
the exit nozzle. Air
and
water
from
the water storage
tank come into the
pressurized air+water
tank
through
the
entrance, and leave
through the exit.
The Main Components
Gear Train
Back
Pump
"A" is the entrance nozzle and
"B" is the exit nozzle. You use
the pump to pump water from
the water storage tank into
the pressurized air+water
tank. When the pump handle
is pulled up, air and water will
come into the pump through
the entrance nozzle. When
the pump handle is pushed
down, the air and water will be
pushed into the pressurized
air+water tank through the
exit nozzle.
One-Way Switch
"A" is the entrance nozzle
and "B" is the exit nozzle.
When the switch lever is
in the middle, the exit is
closed, and air and water
cannot pass through the
one-way switch. When
the switch lever is turned
toward the side of the
entrance nozzle, the exit
is opened and the air and
water can flow through.

Air+Water Turbine Engine
Air and water enter the turbine engine
through the entrance nozzle "A", pushing on
and turning the water wheel, which drives
the gear train behind it to turn the axle.
Then the water flows back to the water
storage tank through the exit nozzle "B" for
repeated use.
