  @fromaworldcorrupted because most of the stuff on the radio is shit, and this is good music. And because there's lots of good, catchy music with an indie aesthetic that never gets any airplay. So it's surprising, in a good way.

@brandaniel1 idk, that's a lot. I spent $20 or so, if i remember correctly. That was mostly on the copper tubing/fittings/brass nipple. I already had a lot of the stuff. Like, for the cylinder head i used a ground down copper penny.

  @Whackvids I was partly wrong. Most people consider "engines" to operate off of pressure, and "motors" to operate off other forces (i.e. electric motors, not engines). So not all "engines" operate off pressure. However, all steam engines I know of are pressure engines.

  @Buzzyman23 I'm assuming you are an expert on this topic, perhaps you could upload some videos to your account of all your "proper" steam engines that are worth so much money? I'm all for constructive criticism, but your comment was not. May I also add that this was only the third engine I made, ...

  @roboticmehdi Define "heat engine". To me, a heat engine is any device that uses some form of heat and converts it to mechanical motion. Have you heard of a Curie motor? That is NOT a pressure engine (not as I see it). You are correct in that not all pressure engines are steam engines though. St...

  @Gibsoner45 It's a sandcast disk of an aluminum/zinc alloy. Just plain aluminum would work fine. The main problem is that it isn't balanced. backyardmetalcasting com has good information on casting at home.

  @Edit9D (this is my other account) If you google around, you should be able to find some plans. But this is a really good starting point from what I've seen. And it's simple enough that you can change so many variables and still have a working steam engine.

  @flamedrag18 (this is my other account) You're right. That would have been more useful, but then i think it would have been a little harder to get the angles correct, and then i'd have to design it differently because i'd have a double-bend in the wire. So it would need more supports (bearings i ...
