My very first working air engine made out of wood!

I bought a little Jensen model 76 steam engine and spent some time trying to figure out how it works, and sooner or later I under stood how it worked and strated cutting and drilling wood like crazy! I had no plans I just built what i was thinking.

  • Very good, I bet it would run just as well on steam!

  • Steam would cause the wood piston to expand and lock up on the cylinder. Wood has lots of friction I had to use tons of wd40 to make this thing turn over.

  • clever. im assumeing that for valves it uses the flat face of the cylinder?

  • yes

  • Cool. Wow thats fast.

  • no really thats nothing
