A tiny engine
bogstandard:
Dave,
A real nice runner you have there. I don't think my eyesight will work with things that small any more
Almost a couple of years ago, I knocked one up in less than a day, but a lot larger than yours. In fact yours makes mine look massive (no I'm not boasting again).
Based around Tubal Cain's porting for the Jenny Wren. If I can remember rightly, it is 3/32" bore by 1/8" stroke, or it might be 3/16" stroke. The brain cell is fading fast.
They really are nice little exercises to do. My main problem was silver soldering the syringe tube in for the inlet pipe.

Thanks Dave.
John, I see you drilled holes in the flywheel of that little thing. Nice

Dave, how on earth did you get that thing to run? And on steam as well, it's minute! It must be a very low pressure too.

He first "crushed" the water molecules down to size. Almost to a fine dust before heating into steam!
