Stuart Beam

This Stuart beam was my second model steam engine that I made quite a while ago, dusted it off recently and gave it a run on air.

And in action on 10psi

Nice running engine. I gotta ask, does the ball governor work or is it decoration?

Nice looking engine

It needs to be run far to fast before the balls start to through out, not helped by the spring belt slipping. I tend to control it by the amount of air comming out of the compressor. But in teory it should work as all the parts are there, its linked to a butterfly valve on the inlet.
