This is a great vid! But that's not a steam engine, it's a gas-powered Olin "hit and miss" engine. It has a governor on it that injects a fuel-air mixture into the cylinder when the flywheel slows and ignites it, spinning up the flywheel for a few turns before firing again. Thus it "hits" once and then "misses" for 3 or 4 revolutions. Amzing and clever piece of machinery. The pumps it is operating are not pumping active wells, but rather just some recirculated oil for display purposes.

Looked like that thing that willy wonka took everyone on for a ride.
