Paper Steam Engine

I am not looking for beta builders but would any member like to build my steam engine. It works by blowing through a straw.

Definitely Interesting! Downloaded for a play someday, but not putting a 'soon' in the statement.

Thank you Miles for your kind words.

With all my models I try to satisfy the following:-
1 It takes account of the unique properties of paper.
2 It does something when it is finished.
3 It is enjoyable to make.

As there has been a bit of interest in the model I think the attached guidance notes might be useful.

Great idea!

I may share this with some youth that I work with who are learning paper modeling through me right now. The in-house science teacher has needed some science projects!

Very interesting. I have downloaded the files and will study them. I need steam engines for my train layout.

I might build this pretty soon but don't count on it (I can be less than reliable on what I plan on doing ). As the others said, very interesting

If you go to you tube - John Boaz models, you will find 24 videos of more of my models. I will be pleased to share the files for any of the paper ones with anybody who is interested. There is also a video of a previous version of Steam Engine.
