you're probably asking, does it really work? the answer is you betcha. its been proven to work (and vibrate) off of compressed air, I'm seeking a more powerful boiler than my pressure cooker so I can actually run it off of steam so please let me know if you know of one.

this is prototype so its got some quirks, the engine isn't quite as optimised as I would like (it takes way more pressure than it should to get it working) and the offset weight I need to machine some more.

it weighs about a pound and is pretty damned smooth to the touch. when I tried to run it off of steam earlier though it got REALLY hot, you have to wear like welding gloves to hold it and even then its almost too hot to handle. another reason I'm using compressed air for the moment.

Too hot to handle. Too cold to really have use with it. Sounds like a troubled relationship. :laugh:
 
lol finally something that's really steampunk instead of just pieces of scrap metal sticking on plastic stuff.

Don't forget putting analog clocks all over the place.
