  • are the 3 little holes your exhaust?

    Also could u please give me some masurments or plans, because I would like to build this motor out of wood!

  • The 3 holes were the exhaust in the original engine. However, in this final design, they aren't necessary. Sorry, I don't have any plans for the engine. It has evolved over time.

  • Excellente job!!!

    Congratulations, your engine looks and works great!!

    I have a question, air cylinders are designed for air pressure so;

    Can an air cylinder work and last fine with steam?

  • Any engine that runs on compressed air will probably run fine on steam. The only problem is the materials in the engine. Steam will cause any engine parts made of steel to rust pretty quickly.
