Eolipila, Steam engine Hero of Alexandria

[panchalino]

Hello Amo del Maní: thanks you for your words, the brass/copper parts were made​by me using a lathe, a mold and through the technique called repusaje, search on youtube

The fast spins of the device is just because it is well balanced

[peanutmaster1231]

Where did you get the brass/copper ball? and how did you make it so it spins efficiently? Great engine!

[peanutmaster1231]

I'm thinking about building one of these. I'm just wondering though, does it make any annoying noises or anything? And if it does, do you know how I could make one not have annoying noises?

[panchalino]

@peanutmaster1231 The device produces almost no noise, only the faint hiss that produces steam when escapes through small holes at the end of the propeller.

the noises you hear in the video are from the traffic that passes by my house.

[ChiLLaXN1337]

[nixnpx]

Just add Weed and you're all set! :D

[AlexChiusday]

probably the faster moving thing in antiquity. 

[panchalino]

@AlexChiusday I agree on that, I`dont know how big was the original Hero`s device.

[davidls11]

An engine that runs on steam?! It'll never catch on.

[rweerakkody4565]

simply wonderful

[panchalino]

Hello, Mrugman thanks for your words, I have developed the device myself, I have no plans but I have all the molds to handcraft the Eolipile, It is all for sale,

if you have skills with tin solder and know how to use a lathe, it is possible to produce small series in the traditional way panchalino@yahoo.com

[Mrgunman1955]

this is amazing. that is all I can say.

by the way... do you have plans for it or did you buy it?

[panchalino]

I agree on that.

[16mmDJ]

It's like those garden sprinklers!

[inr21sevier]

[panchalino]

@inr21sevier

[TheBlackSky000]

A great design of a steam engine. Well done dude.

I like it.

[panchalino]

@TheBlackSky000  Thank you¡¡¡¡¡

[TheBlackSky000]

@panchalino You are welcome my dear :)

[bRadicalmagic1]

Sweet!!! This is the first one of these I have EVER seen.

Thanks for the video upload!

[panchalino]

@bRadicalmagic1 Thyank you for your words¡¡¡¡

[1989kirby]

imagine an industrial revolution 2000 years ago. somebody should write a book on that!

[panchalino]

@1989kirby i agree on that¡¡¡¡

[rexman92]

@panchalino ever tryed making it fly by finding a way to trun the tubes into helicopert cshame helicopert arms?

lol be relly cool to see

[unapologeticmind]

@1989kirby Well, somebody actually did... "The Forgotten Revolution: How Science Was Born in 300 BC and Why it Had to Be Reborn". Available on Amazon and torrent ;)

[squeehunter]

@unapologeticmind

Just buy the fucking book.

[unapologeticmind]

@squeehunter LOL, spare me the preaching... I did mention that it's available on Amazon and I even gave the book a free ad through my post. The mere fact that a simple Google search also gives a ton of links to torrent sites is not my responsibility. The smiley at the end should have given you a clue that the mention of generic unnamed torrent sites was more tongue-in-cheek than an instruction for piracy...

[MarshalHopalop]

@1989kirby I'm on it, haha.

[maroom1]

Acient Greek were very smart, they were the smartest people on the planet at that time

[3BricksHigher]

Pretty freakin cool dude

[mafiaslicka]

@EnlightenedShqiptar yeah, i mean look at them no- oops

[himkdm]

Imagine if the ancient Greeks had just gone one or two steps further with this idea how different the world would be now!

[shockolanu]

This is the first jet engine. Glory to Heron! make it 10 times bigger and you get a powerplant. The Pharos was powered with light, a very long time before Heron. The problem with humanity is that it plunges into Dark Ages. And we are heading straight for one!

[blackened89]

good video!

[Filmyfilmyfilms]

woah, that's fantastic!

[8DESEPTIEMBRE]

aburrido i lost my time watching this video

[panchalino]

lamento que mi aburrido video te quitase tiempo para seguir jugando con la playstation, lo curioso es que si lo has usado para escribir tu pobre comentario.

[8DESEPTIEMBRE]

aburrido

[JQourydxyz]

wow i didnt know it went that fast

[VeraM18]

me neither. O.O

[zeroxstrife250]

Well it depends on how much PSI you wnat to build up until until it starts to come out.

[paulie1982]

Very nice

[panchalino]

gracias

[Vemza]

Nice work :)

[panchalino]

Gracias,

[chiflamico]

Wow, Panchalino! Crees que sea posible construir un aparato que pueda volar o flotar en el aire?

[panchalino]

No creo que esto sea posible, el aparato es muy pesado y entrega poca potencia, saludos

[blooddonator]

Stick some magnets on it and set up a copper wire; make a simple generator!

[panchalino]

esto podria ser posible, !buena idea¡,saludos

[panchalino]

It still for sale, Please email me .Thanks

[budsiskos]

how much is it? if you still have it

[keytoothed]

The Roman​s were famil​iar with all the mecha​nical princ​iples and physi​cal facts which would have enabl​ed them to const​ruct a steam engin​e, but all that came of it was the toy made by Hero of Alexa​ndria​. The reaso​n for this is that there was no compe​lling neces​sity to go furth​er.​--C.G. Jung

[panchalino]

Hola, quien es C.G. Jung? eres tu? Saludos

[keytoothed]

No: Carl Gustav Jung.

[Dividedhead]

¡Brillante! Estoy muy contento de encontrar a alguien que haya hecho una buena versión de la Aeolipile.

Estoy empezando a hacer la forma de hacer prensa a la esfera.

Voy a tratar de no copiar esta idea, quiero crear un 'fuera una versión de la misma.

¿Lo hacen?

¿Por qué vender?

Esto ha sido escrito en Inglés y traducido .... Esperamos que sentido?

[Ihavevids]

Lol cool. I'd buy it, except my parents wouldn't let me, I'm only 11 and I have no money.... :\ Anyways, Heron or Hero was a smart man, he was way ahead of his time.

[panchalino]

Gracias por tus palabras, me llena de optimismo que provengan de una persona de tu edad, felicitaciones a ti y a tus padres.

Coincido en tu comentario sobre Heron, es una pena que no se continuara con su linea de trabajo, la humanidad se perdio 2000 años de desarrollo saludos
