Probably smallest live steam four-cylinder

[jirik92]

Hi guys,
I finished very small live steam four-cylinder oscilating engine (weight 28 gram) - see attached pictures and video. It's made for my 25cm (10 inch) steam pinnace. Complete building process you can see at http://www.steamer.cz/mod3_pin.html

Jirik92,

What are the dimensions of your engine? scratch.gif

It must have been very difficult to work on such a small scale.

Good job.

It have 32 x 35 mm (without pipes) and 20 mm height. It was REALY difficult work, because I have to use +3 dioptres glasses all time to see something :.
Regards to all, Jiri
