not a steam engine
Weiserboy had a steam engine on this forum so I though maybe I could put an AIR engine on it too.
I had helped a mate with moulds for castings of a steam traction engine , a 1904 Burrell. He inspired me to try a wooden air engine,with out any plans ,only vague drawings ,this is what it turned out like.
the o/a length is 300mm ,the fly wheel 100mm diam
The horizontal pipe is the inlet, top and bottom are exhausts. It will operate with very low pressure (a blow from my mouth) on compressed air it just about vibrates to bits. Only metal is the valve shafh ,and a few screws.
something different to turning and boxes,
regards Nine Fingers
