Hi, this is a first attempt at turning a flywheel. Small bit of
wobble but not to bad.

Hi, making progress. Cylinder length 3 ", so the piston stroke
should be about 2".

Hi, I spent most of the day removing knocks from the piston
drive., I completed the new pistons, I added a third groove with
just white cotton string as the middle piston ring, teflon rings
on the top and bottom. I am getting good compression. I still
have to fabricate the valves and run the steam lines.

Hi, I completed the steam connections. I have to fabricate the
cam and turn the valves then I should be ready for a test run. I
will be using a copper tube with flared fittings to connect the
two cylinder steam inputs.

Hi, it is working. There are few problems but it is a start.

Looks good.
I don't know how I missed your last two posts but can I get an
invitation to your video?

Hi, oscillation is a real problem with my engine design. I found
the above project that maybe the solution if I can not find the
solution to the problem. I can use the same fabrication method
that I am using now.

by oscillation do you mean vibration?
The one in the video above seems very simple. What is not shown
or obvious is the design of the crank that turns the flywheel.
But the opposing pistons are what makes BMW motorcycles so nice.
No vibration, very smooth.
Is it possible to add a counterweight to yours that opposes the
other components inertia?
Okay here's my stupid question.
Why is a turbine not good? is it because there is no torque
(because theres no actual power stroke) ?
Or is it because of the problem with sealing in the steam so it
doesnt get all over the place. ?
It seems to me that the actual rpm of a turbine eould be ideal
for a PMA
