Pneumatic Submarine Engines

Description

Hey all :) Well since my last uploads, I haven't been asleep at the wheel :D

This is the air engine used for the Aeliopile submarine :) It can run on steam from the boiler while on the surface, and can be switched to air pressure for diving, without having to stop the engine 8-) I didn't show it in this drawing, but there is a way to exhaust the engine into the submarine, that way, while underwater, the engines air exhaust can provide cool breathable air :)

Both halves of the engines are connected to a differential "head", which ties both engines together, and can drive the two counter-rotating propellers :D

The engines were built by the Roboro Rowe Brothers foundries in Handsworth Birmingham, circa 1889 :)
