Wobble Plate Engine

This engine is not a replica of any large engine, nor does it resemble typical small steam engines in its construction or appearance. It is based on an unconventional design, inspired by a model Bernard Leahy once saw that used a bicycle tire pump tube as a cylinder with a valve fitted at the end. The engine described here follows that idea, incorporating a unique valve mechanism to create a visually engaging "showoff" engine that highlights its moving parts and operation in an eye-catching way.
