I don't think I would want anything to do with a pressure vessel that close to my face. I have a hard enough time working around a 1250lb boiler in an explosion proof control room. Cool as hec though!

That is so incredibly insane. I envision trained squirrels feeding the steam engine little bits of charcoal while you merry along before I checked out that other link.
I wish they would have performance figures. I bet it has crazy torque.

Small single cylinder Diesel engines

Anybody know of a place that makes small diesel motors, like 20cc to 50cc?

Hello skyl4rk,
I found this site with what you are looking for. A single cylinder diesel engine. They have engines starting in the 14cc, 21cc and 28cc and they go up from there. Here is the link, maybe this might promote some diesel power. Don't forget the propane injection, ha ha...
