does anyone know of this designer? I can find nothing on google. There is a set of plans on fleabay for an inline 2 cyl, with what looks like dual eccentric driven piston valves, one for inlet, one for exhaust.
thx!

wow, good net-sleuthing!
I'd come across that site before. Lucky bugger, building steam engines in Tahiti - life could be a lot worse!
The vides is poor, but it does seem to be the same engine, Stephenson link vertical Martine twin.
The question is, is it any good?
