I know this is old but does there happen to be blue prints for this and instructions. I am doing my Senior Project (required to graduate at my school) on green energy, specifically steam power fueled by quick growing and warm burning trees, since when you burn thees they only release the same gases theyd release if they were left to rot.
Yes I have tried running it on steam but for ease I ran on compressed air for the video. What you can see though is the safety vale that I made for it which keeps the pressure to a safe 20psi and it runs quite well.
In this type of engine, the pressure goes into the piston, the shaft that the piston is attached to rotates and that cuts and supplies the piston with the pressure at the correct time.
Easy if you have the right kit. Use a lathe to turn a piece of brass to the whatever external diameter you need. I then drilled it out using a drill bit in the tailstock. This is where the problems state, as a drill hole is only an approximation to a cyclinder, really you should use a poring bar or a reamer. (The cost money). After drill I just smoothed out the bore with some emery paper. The piston was cut on a lathe again. Then measure the bore and turn the piston to suit.
Make a tutorial how you maked it !!!!!!!!!!

Is not steam that is air compressed.-

Nice bit of kit, and created quickly too! Oscillating cylinder engines are so neat to watch run. Thanks for posting.

why don't you publish the instructions, please? i wolud like to build one to use as engine of a boat, this seems small enough. thanks.

@sfragali: It's a simple oscillating steam engine. The plans can be found in a ton of places online, usually for free.

Well done! It´s excellent, and all done by tea-time!

Have you tried to run this on steam? If so, did boiler stand the pressure of the steam?

The lack of a FIRE under the boiler should let you know he's test-running on compressed air. :)
Nice build, thanks for sharing!
