some basic ideas/drawings for steam engine valves
solenoid
buy a solenoid valve $100 each
ball valve
http://www.apollovalves.com/_products/70-600/TS_70_600.pdf
needs a governor
[1] 2 valves per cylinder, cam for each
mark pointed out the difficulty of cam design and efficiency,
temperature flow control
temperature sensor in the boiler or somewhere
could control flow of water, if its too hot pump more water to cool boiler reservoir, too cold turn off.
could be used to govern pump speed? by controlling temperature?
hydraulic valve
http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?item=9-7724&catname=hydraulic
one double action valve switches between two cylinder inlets. need another for outlet.
4 single action would give better control, independent cam for each valve
could you mount so that cam shaft operates lever? and run hose to pistons? seems like there would be loss.
