I based the design of my steam engine on the steam engines at this Dave Goodfellow's website. (Search for goodfellow and steam engine and you will find it).
My engine is a single cylinder version of his 'Siamese Twins'.
In the very last scene of the video that shows the back end, you will see a small rod moving in and out of the end of the cylinder. This rod vents the cylinder to the outside on the exhaust stroke and the air escapes through that hole.
This is what I was looking for when I typed Compressed Air Engine. Thanks, this video was really helpful

no es funcional, pues ademas de un motor de arranque(ELECTRICO) es demasiado ruidoso, y el proveedor de aire (tanque )deberia ser demasiado grande.
