Nice looking engine. Hmmm, that valve arrangement looks hauntingly familiar... :big:

Yes it is. Thanks for the idea. There are 2 ball valve in it. So simple
 
Steam, Congratulations! I like it a lot! :bow:

I was just thinking about what it would take to convert one of my Upshur's to run on air.

Unbelievable coincidence.

I like the color of the flywheels too. ;D

EDIT: Sorry about my lousy spelling. :wall:

I'd love to hear it run. Any chance of a video?

Chuck
 
Black (anodizing?) against the engine-turning looks nice. Good job.
 
That's a beauty! Thm:

Would love the hear her run!

Any chance for some plans, must be your own design??????

It's the first time i used the video camera.

There was plans in a magazine for it as a ic engine years ago that i start to make two of and i am still trying to get the other one to run as a ic engine.
I came across this site and it got me working on then again.
Then i found the post from cfellows on his air engine and change one of then to this engine.
As i had made air and steam engine before and was sure i could get it to run on air.
 
It runs and sounds great! It's nice to see my valve design showing up in other engines. What's the bore and stroke of that engine?
