hunting for specific model steam engine plans
I've been through all my files, but cannot find what I'm looking for:
the plans for a small model steam engine - cylinder is horizontal and has two elliptical holes diametrically opposite each other, channels in the piston direct the steam alternately to each end of the cylinder. A pin in the "drive side" of the piston engages with a coupling to convert its motion, reciprocating and "wobbling", to rotary motion and thence to a flywheel. I seem to remember the valving is somewhat similar to an oscillating engine's. Further suggestions included a twin with the output coupled by gears. IF you recognise this description and have a copy of the plans (Pop. Mechanics/Mech. Illust.?) I appreciate a scanned copy to: mcgray at telus dot net (usual changes needed) TIA, Mike in northcentral BC |
