Steam Engine

[Rocket Man]

1.5" bore 1.5" stroke. The black tank on the back is the electric boiler. I have a 250 watt 120 VAC heater in the 4" diameter boiler tank. It has a 125 psi pressure release. I have the main steam line wrapped with insulation material. The engine will run very slow about 20 RPM all day on 5 psi steam pressure. If I replace the flat belt pully you see on the front with a 24" fan blade the steam engine has no problem turning the blade at 500 RPMs.

That's a great running engine. Do you have construction details for the boiler ?
