Svo’s oscillating steam engine

MAKE Flick photo pool member Svofski built a steam engine without needing the usual expensive tools... - "I've been long fascinated with steam power. Using some spare time I'd been lucky to have, I started building my model. There are plenty of succesful examples of homebuilt steam models on the net, however all of them require a lathe to build. I only have a makeshift micro drill/mill press so I had to invent something a little bit different.

This machine is built from parts obtainable in hardware stores and computer junkyards. This particular construction requires 20x6mm aluminum bar, 15x2mm brass bar, 10mm brass rod, 12mm OD straight copper pipe, dead computer hard drive, some hardware/scrap metal parts/plywood and at least a small drill press."
