Hello,

I have been on a business trip to Austria this week, so I could not answer any earlier.

I have built the first seven engines shown in the Youtube video posted by Achim.

Engines 3 and 4 in the video were my first engines; they were built using plans available in Germany. The other 5 engines
are my own designs; some of them are inspired by machines shown in the Museum of Retro Technology. I do not have proper plans for this machines; normally I start with a CAD assembly drawing (not at all according to drawing standards) and i prepare only rough hand sketches for the single parts.

Kind regards
Gerd Niephaus

Thanks for replying Gerd!
Those are some very cool, unique engines you've made there  :ThumbsUp:
If you do ever decided to post or somehow release your plans somewhere, make sure and let us know! :)
Seems like they'd make some fascinating builds!
