A two cylinder steam engine

[SIZE=+2]MY TWO CYLINDER ENGINE IS FINISHED[/SIZE]



This post shows some photos and a video of the completed engine, the build progress of which was reported in the thread [thread=20023]A Two Cylinder Steam Engine[/thread]. I have updated all the drawings to reflect the engine as built. Rather than create new places for these updated drawings I preferred to replace the old versions in the posts to which they were attached. The list below indicates where to find these new versions of the drawings on the above cited thread.

Here are four snaps of the finished engine and a rather clumsy video hosted on Photobucket showing it running on compressed air. Towards the end of the video I try to demonstrate the self-starting property of the engine conferred by the 90 degree angle between the cranks.
