       />supply sells heavy steel castors.  They come mounted on needle
       bearings. You can take them apart pretty easy.  I drive an
       aluminum piece inside that has the diameter I want, leaving a
       little extra out for a set screw.  These castors come in many
       sizes and look just like flywheels.  About $19

       On the "wobble engine" doesn't the gap between the cylinder and
       the in/out manifold spew steam all over the place? I figure if
       you make it so it doesn't leak then it will have so much
       friction it wouldn't run.
       I wonder if you could  have two silicone fuel hoses. One for
       input the other for exhaust.
       And as the cylinder wobbles it kinks and unkinks the hoses
       allowing leak proof valving.
       Or have it pinch and unpinch the hoses.
       (does that make any sense)?
