This item is an assembly kit of a space exploration vehicle or other non-fictional mechanism. It requires both cement and painting to complete or use.
Another in the "Science for Adults" series from Gakken, this vacuum engine is touted as "a real external combustion engine kit using a vacuum, with an external heat source." Now, by "a vacuum," they don't mean an Electrolux or a Hoover; they're talking about "a space entirely devoid of matter." This kit includes all the parts you need to create a vacuum engined car. The engine itself is easily removable, and assembly takes about two hours (no special tools required), according to the packaging. The multi-media kit features nice die-cast aluminum parts, rubber tires, and more. Instructions included (all text in Japanese).
