sweet, but how did you make the block? do u have a cnc machine?

[yanou410]

every parts were made on conventional machines. A lathe and milling.

[AlchemistHawk]

Isn't that called pneumatic? It looks like it is running off of air to me...

[yanou410]

it's really running on steam. The background noise your hearing is actually an old dehumidifier.

what types of valves does it use?

[yanou410]

It's grooved cylinder type valve. One for each piston

[ihelk]

easiest way to make a steam engine is to take an airhogs accelerator, take the air powered engine off of the air tank and connect the tube on the engine to some sort of boiler.( i used a unopened coke can that i poked a small hole in it so the tube would fit nice and tight, then i filled the can half way with water, stuck the tube in the hole, put a candle under the can and waited a few minuets, turned the propeller, and the engine started going! maybe ill make a vid of it sometime

[ihelk]
