Rotary Steam Engine

This is a work in progress. The idea was to have a "steam" engine that runs like a WWI aircraft rotary engine - i.e. the cranksahft is stationary and the cylinders/engine block rotates.

This is an early run and there is much work to be done.

The engine is first rotated by hand to show the action.

When running, the engine is started at 60psig. It's increased to 80 then brought down to about 25 psi where is stalled.
