I was messing around on ChatGPT and decided to have a little fun. I asked it to design a two-cylinder Corliss engine to run at low RPM and put out 2 HP. What it came up with was rather interesting!

Bore and Stroke:  3" x 6"
60 PSI Mean Effective Pressure steam from a 120 PSI source
78 RPM
Flywheel diameter: 24"
Flywheel rim: 4" wide x 3.5" thick
Flywheel weight: 300 pounds
Crankshaft torque: 135 ft-lbs.

No, I do not intend to build such an engine! I just thought the details were rather neat and figured some of you would find them interesting as well.
