This site was discovered by a south African member
on the Oldengine group. No one on the OE group has heard of this idea
so I thought this was a suitable group to ask!
See http://www.greensteamengine.com/
I look forward to your comments.

Dave,
Put Swash plate or wobble plate pumps and motors into Google, this is not a
new idea.

I particularly like that he expects all the punters to pay for a
licence to build one.
Play "I betcha" ?
It's a neat enough design, and would look good on a tabletop, but I
would not hold real high hopes for longevity in real use. Maybe I'm wrong.

Hi Dave
I happen to have in front of me a Siemens engine design of about 1860
with the same layout (with 4 cylinders), the only difference is that
this one uses a bendy coupling, whereas the 1860 version used a rigid
coupling with a ball pivot in the centre. As far as I can see,
anything else claimed (and there is a lot) is either baloney or
irrelevant to the patent, which is just the bendy bit. Siemens was
trying to invent the IC engine, the drive system wasn't the novel part
of his design, it probably dates way back to the days when there was a
patent on the crankshaft.

This cropped up 6 months or maybe a year ago, I imagine his later
development will be a Perpetual Motion Machine coupled to an anti
gravity system for time travel.
Curious perhaps it is, cheap, reliable, efficient or ecological etc it
ain't.
