Radial Steam Engine
« on: July 05, 2018, 02:28:04 PM »
Hi Everyone
I have been searching the plans and drawings, looking for another winter project.  I came across these prints posted by Julius.

Here's a video of another one on youtube.

I have never seen a radial steam engine with slide valves before.  Is there a real one out there somewhere?
I remember a long time ago seeing the Hula Hula by Philip Duclos.  But this one was oscillating. Still pretty cool and I copied my Dads article in Home Shop Machinist to build someday.
I think maybe the slide valve radial is more interesting.  If anyone knows more about this, or knows any other plans out there, please let me know.
Thanks
