       manual operation
       Hi, I started a new project. I fabricated a rotative beam and I
       need a small steam engine for operation. I was looking at
       youtube and some of the projects are converting gas lawn mowers
       engines to steam. Does anyone know how well this type of
       conversion works? Are there any useful links that will provide
       any info that will help me complete this project? Suggestions
       welcome.

       Welcome
       I used to sell instructions for the conversion.  Its a bit of a
       pain to tear down the engine and make the changes, but a lot
       easier than machining a steam engine from castings.  Give me
       your email by emailing me at lynxwind@gmail.com and I will send
       you the engine conversion and boiler plans.
       Steam engines really aren't the hard part though.  It's the
       boiler and controls.  Its not safe to just get a drum of water
       and put a fire under it.  Most boilers are tube boilers.  I
       prefer monotube boilers.
       If you really want to do this I have a converted Briggs and
       Stratton engine that runs great on 10-100 PSI steam.  It has a
       7/8" keyed output shaft for pulleys.  I would sell it.

       Hi, have you tried to recycle the exhaust using a closed system
       with a condenser? How long can you run your system before you
       have to add more water?
       Thanks for the plans.
