You guys are making me think about doing stuff I'd get grounded for when I was a kid! Walter & Kristin Warfield ... From: Donald Qualls <silent1@...>...
That will work, if you're willing to find the "sweet spot" in the needle every time you start the engine, or install a separate shut-off valve to start and...
Hi there, ... Well, now comes the question about using the prop as a flywheel. Would the drag caused by the prop trying to move the air make it an effective...
... Actually, making a wobbler double acting is a relatively minor mod -- you don't need a cross head, just a sealed bottom end on the cylinder, a piston with...
I think double acting would be easy actually. Which was one of my "modifications" on the #25 I had in mind. You'd just have to do a little math ect. I toyed...
Hello, i had a look to youtube (your link) and found a wobbler, no slide valve. The link is ok? If your looking for a slide valve engine, perhaps i can help...
Oh, sorry! Once again I have not communicated clearly! I felt that the engine in the link is very close to what a #25 would be if it was double acting. No...
Wouldn't even need any math. Elmer has done it all for you in the #47 Boat motor plan, including a drill guide for the porting. Ray ... From: Walter Warfield ...
I need help in finding parts and chucks for my little lathe. A Machinex 5. I just got this little lathe and it is new but no parts I need. It is an old...
Hi, I really lucked out at an auction today. I won, for $50.00, a Tiny Power #104 steam engine kit that was half completed. With the plans was the 'Elmer's...

I recently read a reference to a wooden flywheel engine by Elmer. Does anyone know of the whereabouts of plans for it? Is that it on the cover of his book? ...
... Wayne, I can't tell you about the cover, as I don't have a bound copy. I downloaded and printed mine. It looks like there are two in the book with wooden...
No credit to me for the articles below, I just happen to be a (mostly lurking) member of both the Gingery and Elmers groups. Marcello ... My favorite steam...
Got the crazy idea to try to use a old cappuccino machine as a source for steam. After 2 modifications to a 4$ cappuccino maker I bought at Goodwill. I hooked...
Jerry Howell has some popular ones. I've seen variations of his 4-in-1 and the ones I've seen have run well. He also sells kits of just the bearings and...
I was going to suggest Jerry's plans, since they are very reasonably priced and easy to build. But then I read the original email again and I got the feeling...
There are plans in one of the Steam And Stirling Engines You Can Build books (picture on the cover0. That said, flame licker engines can be tough as a first...
You got that right. I've been messing around with models for about 15 years. Been to lots of shows. Seen LOTS of flame lickers ... static displays!! In...
Hello everyone, A few of us chippers have started a small machining club here in Central Florida and we met for the first time a few months ago up in...
This is a little off the track, but.... I moved away from central Florida going on 8 years ago (couldn't stand the climate any more) or I'd be interested....
