	*Model Steam Engines - [https://www.ministeam.com/acatalog/Marine-Steam-Engine-Double-Acting-Twin-Oscillating-Mamod_Marine_2.html#SID=450]. The steam case is interesting - a little larger, and it produces useful power. See [[Small Steam Engine]]. When taken to the modern age with Arduino electronic valves to remove the mechanical stress - this becomes very practical, though higher tech. One useful route from modeling to practical power is adjustable bump valves.		*Model Steam Engines - [https://www.ministeam.com/acatalog/Marine-Steam-Engine-Double-Acting-Twin-Oscillating-Mamod_Marine_2.html#SID=450].
