Actually, only the first one looks like it has serious modification. I built a
hit & miss engine similar to the blue one when I was a kid, although I didn't
have a compressor to run it, so it didn't run as fast as his or as long :) You'd
be surprised how leak-proof you can make it. Trying to make a double-acting
cylinder proved beyond me though - with an axle going through a round hole,
there's just too much leakage.
The first one looks like it uses the oscilating cylinder system that MAMOD use
on their steam engine models. Look pretty well made, I guess he made them
himself.
