Thanks for the comment. The engine is running on compressed air and the noise at the end is the compressor starting up due to reduced air pressure. Too bad I didn't end the video a few seconds earlier.
Thanks for the comments. The lathe as well as the engine are PM research castings. I have another vid of this which shows a bit more but no motion. I will post this shortly.
Henry Maudslay would be proud...

That would be great. Did you make this model?
MrBadgerbadger 1 year ago
Yes I made this model. I have a small shop in my house. I don't spend all my spare time there so it took about 2 years to build this.
