Homemade steam boiler update

[bcschmerker]

Concept proven. A working Accucraft or equivalent small-scale boiler has a flue running through it to allow the flame to enter one end of the boiler and the exhaust to be updrafted from the opposite end; such a set-up is perfect for propane or butane as is, and can be adapted to coal with a firebox and grate. Now for a syphon for on-the-fly water replenishment....

Trick is the boiler uses, A valvles pulse jet type housing,andDeisel typeThemistat too individualy open and then close each boilers feed water line with temprature fuctuation as the water coming in to the boiler will temporaraly cool each tube,

The boiler breaths and burns like the jet but make heat and steam rather than being tuned for thrust.

Your concerned about safety when a bike tire holds up to 60 psi lol. Copper would have been fine to hold the pressure instead of an old fire extinguiher

Nice work, keep us updated on how it drives a steam engine and for how long it'll run on your water/steam supply.

Nice goin with the boiler mate! Works a treat!

[Cchange4us]

wow that built presure quick! you should make one with bigger fire extingisher and then just have a tee peice off from the fire extinguisher and then have you control valves from them

[def215]

so its just an old propane tank that you used to make the boiler? how are the fittings for the valves put on the tank? are they welded or brazed on id like to try this myself. that is pretty cool stuff there.

How about a whistle for that boiler, mate! I like the way you talk, too. Some guys have cool accents.

i put hot water in from a kettle for the video

and im still deciding on what engine to make, maybe a double acting slide valve engine....that would be awsome!

[deets101]

@pow0006 take a look at tesla turbines.

[Aussie50]

good job!, I like the pressure relief valve!

One thing I would love to make myself is a model beam engine, steam driven!

[robinhooodvsyou]

Was the boiler cold when you put the burner on ?

-That`s very fast pressure rise !

-And what kind of engine you`re going to use ?

[Bobbymitchell10]

very impressive the safty valve works good now comes the engine
