Make a simple tin can steam engine that spins amazingly fast -- based on Hero of Alexandria's design

Make this working tabletop steam engine based on the ancient design by Hero of Alexandria. The plans were from a 1963 issue of Mechanix Illustrated. When heated with a small Trangia-style alcohol stove this little engine can spin extremely fast. I walk you through every step and provide some critical insights for troubleshooting your own steam engine build. Some of the materials can be found around the house.
