A put-put engine is extremely simple. It has a tank which contains water with two tubes leading from the water supply, perhaps in a pond. Under the tank is a source of heat which brings the water in the tank to the boil and makes steam. This steam rushes down the two pipes to the water supply, so moving the boat forward, almost like a jet engine. But that lasts only for a very short time because the steam condenses in the colder water, thus reducing the pressure in the tank such that a little more cold water enters the tank, which is heated to "steaming point" once more. So we hear the put put put put put........
