Steam engine made out of Air Compressor

We took out a small air compressor from a dead battery pack. put a valve into pipe that goes to pressue gauge so when cylinder reaches to top, pushes pin of the valve and opens for pressured air coming from other pipe... crank moves the copper wire and pushes the valve, to deff. the steam which was originally used by compressor to intake the air... Basically you need a valve to send pressured steam when cylinder reaches to top, use the excisting valve to relase the air while cylinder is moving up. Then you need a flywheel to continue that movement. We used empty propane tank to make steam. But we changed its security valve's spring and now it can reach max 25 psi. If you dont change it it holds way over 100 psi. it is very risky if you dont. We drilled and make it possible to put a water inside. 10psi is enough to run that engine. Camp fire or gasifier wood stove will be boiling that tank to run the steam engine.
