A little more information cause someone asked: Thanks for the appreciation. Bore and stroke 1/16 inch Crankshaft built up using .015 music wire and a piece of .025 inch dia. sewing needle. Boiler is spun copper as I couldn't find a usable thimble. Plans were published in the book "Steam and Stirling Engines You Can Build" published by a division of Live Steam Magazine in 1980. The article was titled "Thimble Power Plant" by Dr. James R. Senft. I don't know if copies of the magazine article or the book are available. I hope this helps. Dave |
