A clip of my big Vacuum Engine running. Bore 50mm, stroke 90mm, water cooled. Drawings are available for sale. Pleas feel free to contact me for more information.

This is an Air-Cooled vacuum engine designed by Dr. JRSenft. I found the plans in the November 1980 edition of Live Steam. I built this over the last few months and it is fun to watch it run. It is lubricated with Extra Fine Graphite powder to lessen friction. The fuel in the copper burner is alcohol.

Thanks to Anthony Liekens for his instructions. Have any suggestions as to how I should expand this?

The Oreck XL21 vacuum cleaner was one of the few things left standing when an Oreck plant manager’s home was flattened by Hurricane Katrina. Will it still work? See why the XL21 is a marvel of 21st century vacuum technology, and you’ll understand why Oreck guarantees the XL21 for an unprecedented 21 years, with 21 free annual tune-ups - a 0 value! Add to that the 0 Canister Vacuum and the 0 cordless steam iron just for trying at no risk and no obligation, making this an offer in which you have nothing to lose but the dirt in your home and air.
