I have wanted to build a similar single action steam engine for a while now-just to see if I could do it. According to your notes in this video, the intake and exhaust valves should move quickly between both end positions and stay at he end positions for quite a long time How do you achieve this stand still? Are you cutting oval-shaped valves? Also, how tightly must the cylinder head fit into the cylinder?-should I use O-rings, or will a snug fit work? Thank you again for the great video.
Hi! The crankshaft angle between piston rod and valve rod could be of 90 degrees? In your model, it seems a little bigger than 90 degrees but I have seen other single acting engines with crank angle of 90 degrees. Is don't have many knowlege about steam engines, so could you explain me that? Oh, and other thing, when piston is at PMS (superior death point of cylinder) , wath should be the position of the valve? I'm asking just to understand the main concept of the steam cycle. Tanks.
First, thank you so much for posting these videos, they are absolutely inspiring.

It sounds like Glenn Miller playing "St. Louis Blues March". Then it goes into "Sentimental Journey". The third song is "Little Brown Jug".
This is very interesting. Can one apply this simple single action technology to larger vehicles?
Thank you very much for this detailed information. I wonder if one can apply this system to bigger machines, like steam powered cars.^^
