Peake Engines

Ben Peake

Ben Peake, is an Australian with an obsession for model steam engines. In 2007 he built his first steam engine. He is a trumpeter by training and is interested in making and modifying parts of trumpets. The first engine he made didn't work but the process proved exciting enough to warrant another try, this time proving more successful.

Since then he has created several small engines of his own design. He really enjoys making them for others. Check out his web site http://www.peake-engines.com/ it is well laid out and gives many close ups of his engines if you are interested.

The video shows it running at 4psi.

This little engine was built in Australia in 2009 and is really small. It came with a signed certificate of Authenticity and a manual to explain proper oiling and running of the engine. The MINOR runs nicely on 4 psi from an aquarium pump, check out the video to the left. This is engine #1 in this series.

This engine was also built in Australia in 2009 and is an oscillating engine like the minor. Runs very nicely on very low air pressure. It came with a signed certificate of Authenticity and a manual to explain proper oiling and running of the engine. This is engine #1 in this series. I received this engine in January 2010.
