my grandpa had a table top model of a beam engine that he would power with a pressure cooker

My uni had an original 1800s style beam engine (from a whiskey distillery) as a feature in the Engineering faculty building foyer. It did move, but driven by electricity, and only a couple of times a year AFAIR.
