steam car

[ericAett]

hey nice car. What is it's top speed/ mpg?

[xPrynce]

they made these back then but killed it all because the government wanted money from gas.

they should make cars with steam engines to be more enviromental freindly

[MrTpengineer]

So it's a steam/electric hybrid since it has a electric heating element? Awsome!

[megabassX]

Well done, we are waiting for more videos :)

[Threetails]

Perfectly mad.

I love it!

[slobhinav]

You make nice sideshows):

[VRJensen1]

AWESOME!!! Your Car Rocks!!!

[schlusselmensch]

Run for your lives! It's the plastic steam pig!!

[bored1980]

It looks very fascinating. Is there any video available that's more legible?

[galinneall]

The video needs some work but the audio is excellent! I love the sound of steam cars running. Do you run it on the street? If so, have you had any problems with certification? What are you using for a boiler?

[AxisHome1]

Lmao we had somone in the crewes missiles make one of these out of a mini... until it exploded. Make sure the saftey valve isnt sticky. Thats my only bit of advice.

[fizzguts]

"until it explode" It didn't, no steam car has ever "exploded" there has been had fires and burner blow backs but no boiler explosions, ever.

Stationary engines and traction enginesare a different story

[ShadowWorks]

Whats the Kw output of your burner?

I have to say that this is a great bit of work.

[prestonpc]

what do you use for heat?

[ducatigary900]

the heat for the boiler is generated by a small home heating burner running through an invertor

[popupwool]

How much more efficient compared to gas engine? can be used in below freezing winter?  how Can I convert my car?

[roboman79]

Please tell me more about the heater please!

Thanks!

[RenettoRenetto]

mmmmmmmmmm well ive got one that runs on that very rare stuff called petrol ! mmmmm beat that

[laurenfox]

brilliant

[JimPrower]

I'd like to see someone try to build a three-cylinder compound steam car. some Gresley gear and such, who knows, might be pretty efficient.

[rocky20000g]

i think its a robert relinent

[ottocars]

great projekt love it

[gigobait]

where are the front wheels??

is it like a tricycle?

[Joe90ridesahonda]

its a Reliant Rialto,a three wheeled economy car made in Britain.

[DADRENO]

Must be the Lincoln branch? Haven't seen it on the road - is it taxed & insured??

[Depotmaster]

The sound is soo cool!

[USAroxx]

sounds like a Northern Ireland accent? cool machine

[Soehave]

Rock on Steam boy! :-)

Cool machine!

[jetisson69]

cool. how about getting it out of the drive way!? LOL :) can steam and the hyrdrogen fuel cell tecnolegy work together in any way? if the the steam was reused or bottled? maybe have you seen the movie steam boy?

[noremac7777]

awesome as it is, you REALLY can't trust Anime for working physics :P havent seen Steam Boy yet, saw a DVD in a shop the other day... anywho, basic point, he has a steam jet pack doesent he? more-or-less impossible. to heavy to be able to lift itself for any period of time. might JUST get one off the ground, for maybe one second, then the boiler'd be drained :P

[JimPrower]

And this has WHAT to do with a 2-cylinder Simple-cycle Reliant?

[noremac7777]

someone said something about using ideas from steamboy to make this more self-sustained.

[Fwbs]

cooooooool i want 1

[ESY835]

Its sum machine.

[BNMMVII]

Nice contraption! :)
