Schmid's Water-Powered Engine

[Dave R]

Another in my series of machinist's models. This engine is powered by water, not steam. Water goes into the opening visible near the bottom of the engine and out on the far end. I believe the copper colored cylinder is just filled with air which gets compressed by the water and provides some pressure for exhausting the water.

For a scale reference, the flywheel on this model has a diameter of 159 mm.

Here's a grab of the illustration of the original full-size engine showing the valve arrangement

What renderer is that.

Lovely detail....crazy detail to be honest.

@Rich-O-Brien thank you. At least this time I didn't go overboard with screw threads. I still need to add some studs and hex nuts.

I'd love to be able to make illustrations with the feel of those old lithographs.

Top notch work as always!
