I showed this to a friend who blows glass for a living. He was stunned at the precision and quality.

That is *really* awesome. I'd love to see a hi-def slo-mo of the thing running.

Loved it.
Say, are there steam engine kits (build your own) available? I always wanted one as a kid ... G |

I would like to see the video in slow motion too, I can't see where the spent steam goes and I'm not sure how the valve works.

The pressure side is a simple shuttle valve being timed by that connecting rod. I coudnt see it, but the exhaust is usualy just a port in the cylinder wall at the bottom of the power stroke.
