This is a personal challenge to our experienced builders.
Flywheel inertia will make any model run with the help of a piston in a
cylinder adding a bit of a nudge, but have you ever built an engine that
runs on the pressure in the cylinder alone?
My best effort at that came from my version of Elmer's Mine Engine.

So how slow can you go?
