From "Kinematics of Machinery," penned by Franz Reuleaux in 1876 and reprinted in 1963, this model showcases a non-circular chamber Steam Engine first designed by Franchot in the 1860s, later modified by Serkis-Ballian in 1967. The body is depicted in white, red for the dislocated-center shaft, and green for the working blade. This model is part of a series from Reuleaux's book that includes Steam Engine I to VII Mechanisms, Cochrane Pump, Payton Water Meter Mechanism, Eve's Chamber-Wheel Gear Mechanism, Ratchet-Train Mechanism, as well as 3D-PDF, ZIM, and other file formats. It has been modeled using Solidworks 2016 and rendered with Simlab Composer 7 Mechanical Edition, edited with Virtualdub, IrfanView, and more for optimal visual presentation. The ZIM file is viewable on both iOS and Android devices through the free Simlab Viewer app, making it accessible to a wider audience.
