It was bothering him that the flywheel and crank handle on the hammer were spinning different directions  :D

He's pretty wrapped up in its operation, very focused interest.

Poor Jacob, his dad's messing with him.
It was pretty funny.
At least he didn't do what most kids would've done.
Got mad and chucked it against the wall.

That is a great video for a couple of reasons. Besides Jacob trying to come to grips with some physical/mechanical principles, it also wonderfully shows the "safety valve" effect of an oscillator blowing off over pressure steam at the port face!
