ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Steam tricycle

Okay kiddo, let me explain what a steam tricycle is!

Do you know what a tricycle is? It's a bicycle with three wheels that people can ride on. Now, let's talk about steam. Steam is created when water is heated and turns into a gas.

So, a steam tricycle is like a tricycle, but instead of using pedals to move, it uses steam power. This means that instead of pedaling with our legs, we use heat to create steam from water, and the steam moves the tricycle.

The steam tricycle has a special engine that heats the water and turns it into steam. The steam gets pushed through pipes and moves a piston, which helps to turn the wheels of the tricycle.

Overall, a steam tricycle is a unique and interesting way to get around without using our legs. It's a fun way to learn about science, engineering, and transportation!
