Home-made steam engine

[cryptotown]

take the fucking music off!!!

[ekham1]

can you give me a link to a websight that shows how to make the oiler?

[asdfkjaskldalsdfa]

nice project, I'm really amazed !!!

[sinistra92]

Do you initially create a pressure in the oil container, so it flows out?

If yes, what pressure is that? I assume that's what the pressure gauge is for...

[lexander5]

Simply great!!!That looks so nice and is such a great working model...

I wish I'd be able to do that myself... But I don't have enough tools to do so. Great!!!

[ThePizzahero1]

Where did you buy that steam valve?

[lewis9968]

if u wanted to could u put it on a chasais and put a 5 inch gauge loco with it

[frank0067]

if this was set up to run a generator you can use an electric heater or even power an HHO generator and use the hydrogen from that.. a perpetual motion machine

Red Green WOULD BE PROUD... (but where's the ducttape?)

[mcskatin]

does it have alot of power??

[danielwills93]

How did you make the boiling cylinder? Did you solder/weld?

[PoedPeasant]

wow I stumbled upon this by accident but very impressive.

[MrTrainboy1]

that music is from a game called canal control

[tdpomodoro]

Indeed, it's a ragtime piece by Scott Joplin called Maple Leaf Rag.

That burner is just awesome :)

[leemerson76]

Thank you. Check out the little red burner in my latest video. It is more compact and a neater job.

[pedekiller]

yeah sweet burner, i just made a steam engine myself and was searching for a better burner than 2 troughs full of metho lol

[delorean60]

Don't they use the same typer of gasoline burner on the old stanley steam cars? Very nice by the way!

[leemerson76]

Some of the steam cars have vaporizing burners, but I think they use kerosine instead of gasoline.

Beautiful engine, the wooden boiler jacketing is a nice touch.

[leemerson76]

Thank you. The wood adds to the appearance and also acts as insulation.

[MrTrykster]

@leemerson76

did you make the wooden parts?

[duck1000000000000000]

very talented i just have a traction engine that runs on meths that i got from a car boot

[ShriveledTadpole]

everyone is thinking it. add wheels! nice work i really admire you're ability!

[leemerson76]

Actually, I'm working toward paddle wheels or a propeller.

Thank you for the kind words.

[djpaulk]

Nice job,what does the burner run on?Kero,metho.Oh no,i might have just caught the steam bug.Cool vid

[leemerson76]

The burner is fueled by petrol. I fill the tank half-full of fuel, then, using a bicycle pump pressurize it to 20-25 lbs. The coil has to be heated, then crack the valve and the vaporize fuel will light.

Much of my model steam information comes from the book Model Engineering by Henry Greenly. This book is offered through Lindsay Publications.

I like your rock tumbler; ingenious!

[Bobbymitchell10]

amazing job it just blew me away

[leemerson76]

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.

[brightspaces]

Nice Job! Fun video too.

[leemerson76]

Thank you very much.

I've been friends with Lee for twenty years, and I'm still amazed by his tenacity. I tell you, if there were a way to make a Fusion Reactor out of pvc pipe, bailing wire, duct tape, and other stuff from the home depot, he would have already done it. And all this was done with no real machine tools. I've seen him bust up scrap aluminum, toss it in a homemade smelter made of a trash can and a hair dryer, and cast parts in beach sand that he finished on a drill press. Great Job, old friend.

[leemerson76]

Andy,

Thank you for your support. Coming from a craftsman, artist and innovator such as yourself, this means a lot.

[lostinsteam]

Fantastic!
