OK this isn't really a link to plans, but rather a link to information on the
pre-Watt steam engine design from the early 1700's
It's a steam engine that runs more on the principle of a flame licker, using
atmospheric pressure for it's power stroke. I've been looking at this
design for a few years now, trying to figure out if it would be possible to
make it work on a model scale. It's one of those things that I wake up in
the middle of the night and scribble sketches and notes down on my note
book.
Alright it's been a real obsession! :roll:
Anyway Here's the link to information on the original Newcomen Engine
