Now that sure is unusual. Have to ask though… where’s the hamster ?

Great work, Dave, those machines were state of the art when they were invented. I have attached an image of a Quantum computer. Therefore state of the art today. When I say computer 99.9% of it is just for cooling the chip is about50x50x10mm. Here is a link to the model

I don't know what you're building Dave but I've notified the FBI

@Rich-O-Brien

So, the FBI, just about getting to steam power will hire Dave on the spot then?

Funny guys!

And here's another one. A little 4-cylinder oscillating engine. As usual, all base level components are solids.

@Dave-R I thought I forgot to take my 3D glasses off when looking at this last image. Fantastic

P.S. I meant to say my X-ray glasses. The ones I bought from the ad in the back of my comic book.

Dave R

@tuna1957 thank you sir!

Another little steam engine. The flywheel has a diameter of 80mm. Nothing but SketchUp.

@Dave-R Very nice sir!

You said all SketchUp. Did you use any plugins? I wish I had the knowledge/skill to do something like this. I am not an artist or engineer and see many post from people like you and am very impressed.

Very cool ! There seems to be a never ending supply of these little mechanical marvels.

Dave R

@tuna1957 thank you sir. I have been amazed at how many different little steam engine models I've found.
