Elmer's Open Column with reverse

cascao: Nice work on the engine. Looks great. That is one of the most enjoyable videos I've seen lately. Excellant!!!!!
 
Very nice work! I built a similar engine when I was in high school, it was a column engine with a single acting piston and a rotary valve, but it did not have any kind of reverse mechanism. The rotary valve leaked like crazy and was difficult to get just right. I never did get it to seal up the way I wanted it to, but it did run even though it leaked quite a bit. Sad part is that I don't know what ever happened to it.
 
Very nice little engine! I loved your video! Thanks for posting. Dave
