Elmer's Comber Rotary Engine

[BoCam]

This is my first running steam engine!
Elmer's Comber Rotary Engine. Built according to the plans without changes. (as much as I can manage )
I have no background in machining so I'm still learning as I go. I used an old Harbor Freight Mill/Lathe combo tool I purchased with the help of a friend a while ago.

Below is a video of it running. I can't say exactly what air pressure it was running on since the gauge on my air compressor starts reading at around 10 or 15 psi and I ran it up to a max of about 30 psi (I think).



Thanks for your interest.
Bob

Thank you Michael-au and Vederstien, I had fun building it and I'm trying to decide what to build next.
