I can't imagine the thought that was required by the person who made this from scratch!!

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

The casting and machine work to build that engine must've been an unbelievable amount of work and it was all a labor of love!

OMG I love seeing old stuff running. That is awesome.

Poetry in motion.

Almost looks like a clockmaker designed it.

I'm curious about what type of work they applied this engine to?

[@jessekalahar417]

So these were actually ran by them selves for research. They had load instruments to attach but no actual working applications.

1/2 horsepower won't power much. What were the originals used for?

[@udflyer98]

Primarily for printing presses or other small power demands of the era. You have to remember there was no electricity available in that day to accomplish the things we take for granted. Small power was provided by hand cranking. Larger power requirements were fulfilled by either water or steam. Both required engineers versus this engine that needed only to light a pilot light and open a gas valve to start running.

Imagine inventing a flying car today ? That's what those men were thinking about then
