Steam Engine Build

I just completed my steam engine project that I’ve been working on for the past few weeks. I machined 100% of parts myself from scratch.  It operates by taking steam (or any sort of air pressure) and repeatedly filling/emptying a chamber which as a result fires a piston. With the addition of a flywheel we are able to conserve a bit more momentum with each rotation and reach higher overall speeds. Please enjoy the video below.
