Overhead crankshaft oscillating steam engine

Test run on air from a pump.

This is similar to the engines used in European river side-wheel ships, from the Elbe, Danube etc.
I have converted this engine from an oscillator built to drive a propeller, built after plans by Basil Harley (Miranda launch).

@DrFrankensteam Look here at my other videos, you'll see it under steam.

Very nice sounding engine. Would you mind sharing the bore and stroke with me?  I'd like to build one like it.

@cffellows Hello, bore is about 14-15 mm and stroke about 20 mm.

Video troppo breve per un motore così interessante dal suono tanto bello.

Video too short for a steam engine so interesting with sound so beautiful.
