This will tell you how to make one
Step 1: Making the Rotor
Cut the slots facing inward at a 45degree angle
Step 2: Making the Stator
Cut the slots at the OPPOSITE 45 degree angle
Step 3: The Horn and Body
When the steam comes in it is cut with a saw toothed edge disc( not shown ), for the air to go around and then into the stator to make the rotor spin( similar to a hero engine
Don't forget the whistle valve
Step 4: Your Done!!!
