My middle-school steam engine from 10 years back

[vhautaka]

Hi, I just took some pictures and video of my old steam engine running in my crappy kitchen.

Thought pulsejet people would probably like to see something that burns spirits with a dangerous-looking flame, that has high internal pressure and sounds like it'll rip itself apart when it revs up with no load :)

The clips are viewable on Linux, at least with a recent mplayer.

Oh man, I can't wait to get back at the valveless pjet project... this just isn't the same. I don't even have any power tools here! Excuse my horrible withdrawal symptoms... (throws a molotov cocktail at some tentacled thing creeping out of the wall)
