Tiny Steam Engine

[InkyEngines]

A brilliant enhancement to Elmer's engine design to include the integral boiler .... gives me ideas of attempting something similar with his slightly larger 'Fancy' engine. Thanks for sharing this.

How much hp does it give?

[JeroenJonkman]

just enough to keep itself in motion, touching the flywheel will stop it easily!

[ramicaza]

thanks alot, id love to get into making these hand crafted metalic air powered engines

[ramicaza]

great littlt engine! looks like the air hogs engines but so much cooler. please tell me what tools you need to craft this. thanks!

[JeroenJonkman]

A small lathe and mill are the main tools required.

Plans can be found at john-tom dot com

Great Video, Man. Would love the plans, :)

[Beethoven2949]

loverly desighn very simplistic cool vidio

[nameless527]

yeah, share plans plz

[nltubeyou]

Thats just beautifull!

[NOLIMIT69NOLIMIT2000]

You put to much water in it at the start.

[misspiggysass]

Beautiful work!!!! Would you Share the plans?

[JeroenJonkman]

you've got mail!

[fly2000jtb]

I have the book of Elmer's engine and all the plans! Is that where you got the plans to build yours as well? Cool video Post more gave ya a 5 not only because I love Elmers engines but it was a good video too Joseph T (fly2000jtb)

I hope steam never dies, In fact they should bring it back, After all its what built Britain just ask Fred Dibnah. If he was still with us I would take him down the pub and get him in a pint, God bless

[valdarmort]

that would look great on my moms pressure cooker .better than the rocker piece they have

[NickG24]

Lovely design Jeroen.

[Brrrutus]

Too bad you spoiled the video with music, I rather hear the sound of this little beauty!

[nibbler125]

how are you holding the spring on with just that washer ?

[JeroenJonkman]

In the video, pause at 0:14, and the retaining pin can be seen on the right. During assembly, at 1:06, this pin is not placed, because it takes quite an effort to get it in place!

[AcousticlyJebus]

very nice man. looks super good in brass. I think i'll make one if I ever get the time. But very nice though

[oostermanju]

this video was almost beautiful 0_0

holy crap, brilliant engineering buddy : )

<3

[shinyfuzzy]

1CC!!!! that6s almost enuf to power a small rc car! lol

[banditpredator]

very nice!

[WorldStove]

almost too lovely

[Enigma758]

How did you round the back of the cylinder? Did you do it by hand with a file or somehow machine it?

[JeroenJonkman]

machining this part is somewhat difficult, and the soft brass is easy to shape with a file, so go ahead and move those elbows!

[Enigma758]

I suppose you could start by milling two chamfer's then finishing off by hand, but probably not worth it. I see it's all brass which looks very nice. This might be perfect project to dust off the old unimat. I plan on making one.

[Obsidian433]

Beautiful little engine, and great choice of music to go with it.

What's the displacement of the engine?

[JeroenJonkman]

The bore is 5mm, and so is the stroke.

This results in a displacement of 0.0982cc.

[bigdatab]

I'm building one of these right now but with a steam inlet on top, so how are you feeding the steam in through the bottom?

[JeroenJonkman]

A small channel is drilled from the bottom just clearing the driveshaft, entering the steam inlet for the cilinder. Take care not to hit the driveshaftbore, this will result in having to remake this part .

[son8god8damn]

will you sell me 1?

[JeroenJonkman]

Sorry, this is the only one and I plan on keeping it...

[julmaster9900]

you really should built more engines and sell them, i think a lot of people would like to buy them

[bigdatab]

Thanks so much for your answer. That's a very cool piece you have there. Love it !

[yankee5456]

lol, this is awsome ! i like the way it spits boiling hot water !

[rombodituono100]

ottimo lavoro ma con scarsa tenuta del vapore

[theglib]

I'm really blown away by all this stuff. really amazing.

[orangmakan]

nice design, nice video !

[daveroussel]

Did you build it yourself ?

Show off all your tools in the videos too !

Great little machine, compact and beautiful.

[mattimus00matt]

good stuff!

[steelrpm]

pretty cool I designed on in autodesk inventor once..
