Does anyone know if this Cylinder design works?

I found this cylinder design on the internet.

I can see that this cylinder could work BUT, i'm worried that if I build it and test it with steam, I think that it could just go BOOM!

Should work if you get the dimensions and quartering right, doubt it'd go boom, just leak steam everywhere.

As what William said, it probably would if you got it all correct. It wouldn't be much use though!

I'm thinking of an Idea that will allow me to have a fixed cylinder on my mamod trraction engine that I was given for my birthday last year. My Godfather Neil built it as a kit when he was a Kid

You'd be best buying a Wilesco cylinder and slip eccentrics then modifying it to fit the Mamod. Someone's done it before.
