7 Cylinder Radial Steam Engine - The Build

[buddyl962]

rotaries were used in the first world war...radials dominated in the second world war.

AYY U MISSING A CYLINDER WTF!

Where can I find the drawings. Would also like to make one.

looks like the cooles room fan i ever saw ;)

nice music

Wow really nice

It's connected to a compressed air line. I just wonder about lubrication. There are moving parts and no oil sump or exhaust which would imply a spray of oil in use. Very pretty design though. It is quite similar to the rotary engines on the WW2 airplanes. Our fathers were smart cookies.

@Geoffrey2410 Absolutely! Well so is this chap, at :26 he is machining brass/bronze, which when made right makes a wonderful bearing surface even when dry. The cyls pistons and most important goodies are brass. a light lube, or waxy based stuff works well in some applications. fantastic work, TEM and excellent question Geoff!

Wow..., nicely done! Many thanks!

[swinkyuk]

Very nicely done my friend.

[tnphysics]

How did you make the pistons?

Also, I assume this could also run on compressed air if desired-correct me if I am wrong.

That`s really great !! Thank you for the video !! Greetings from Austria/Europe

[gcarbtube]

How many RPM it can do?

이 제품 구매 할 수 있나요?

[TheHanluo]

i don't know,why it runing??? can you tell me(我不知道它的原理，你能告诉我吗？）

[12345NoNamesLeft]

Where Can I get these plans ?

[jamiegoddard4]

i know its probably not safe to test, but what sort of torque does this give out. does it resist a hand's pull.

[xKmotx]

That engine is awesome!! 

[kokopelli314]

If you put a rim around it then it's a powered wheel

[purpleGoAhead]

@kokopelli314 yeah, that's right... and that's what the germans thought about in the 20's ;)

@purpleGoAhead Thanks for that link! The Megola is a beautiful work of engineering for the '20's

[MoowChair]

Thanks awesome!
