Completed the Travis Steam #4 today. Gave it a few test runs on the bench and it runs fine. Sounds great.
Here are the Pics and the video will be a follow up later.
I made a few changes to the original which includes the 8mm ball bearing ABEC-7 608z. Why that one? I had them in stock
from another project and they would fit this project. I made one flywheel from aluminum and filled it with lead to add weight.
It is larger in diameter than the lower end is high so I will make a proper walnut base for this engine. Right now it is just sitting
on a piece of baltic birch.
Cheers, JR
