Some here will remember the great vortexian (yep I use the term
vortexian here because he graduated from the U of Houston) Frank
Stenger. Here is one of his latest achievements:

It is difficult to believe what a rusted mess of damaged parts this
antique oil field engine came from. This is real tour de force for
any mechanical engineer, a work of art, but probably one only a
connoisseur of such things can appreciate. The sound signature of
these things appears to be highly varied and unique to a machine. It
is quite amazing to me how many of them are being restored and can be
viewed on YouTube.
