I finished the beam engine Brian has drawn up. I have to say that it is one of the best designs I have made. The engine is the same one he has published in Home Workshop magazine. I got the plans about a month ago and was working on it while trying to sort out the hit and miss. Sometimes I have to walk away from something before the light comes on.
The plans are easy to follow and other than a couple of setups I had not done before was easy to build.
It will run on 5 pounds of air and will self start on about 15 pounds. At five pounds it will run at about 15 or 20 rpm. I cranked it up to 30 pounds and it will really get the rpms.
So Brian :bow: good job!

I have to get a video camera somehow ???
