  • Make a tutorial how you maked it !!!!!!!!!!

  • Is not steam that is air compressed.-

  • Does anyone have any more information on the piston?

  • cia su oru.....

  • I know this is old but does there happen to be blue prints for this and instructions. I am doing my Senior Project (required to graduate at my school) on green energy, specifically steam power fueled by quick growing and warm burning trees, since when you burn thees they only release the same gases theyd release if they were left to rot.

  • o ya tony stark can build that shiny thing in his chest in a cave!!!!!,jk nice engine bro, could u show how to make the piston though?

  • Nice bit of kit, and created quickly too! Oscillating cylinder engines are so neat to watch run. Thanks for posting.

  • did you make this i 1 day? everything?

  • I really want plans for this! I dont even know how it works :(

  • Awesome job. It look amazing! ★★★★☆

  • how to you make the safety valve?

  • ANDYB1812 WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A DAY!!

    ...WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!

  • ciao molto bella la tua realizzazione mi daresti qualche dritta per farla simile io????

  • Cool. what is the boiler of?

  • how did you make it

  • how did you make the piston?

  • what time is tea?

    Awesome lil motor!

  • @pixuma: Tea time is the evening meal.

  • The boiler on that is fantastic. :)

  • why don't you publish the instructions, please? i wolud like to build one to use as engine of a boat, this seems small enough. thanks.

  • @sfragali: It's a simple oscillating steam engine. The plans can be found in a ton of places online, usually for free.

  • Well done! It´s excellent, and all done by tea-time!

  • Have you tried to run this on steam? If so, did boiler stand the pressure of the steam?

  • Yes I have tried running it on steam but for ease I ran on compressed air for the video. What you can see though is the safety vale that I made for it which keeps the pressure to a safe 20psi and it runs quite well.

    Thanks

  • will you make me a flywheel and the tank (boiler)

  • an air not steam

  • how u made the piston and con rod and how u made the cilinder?

  • how did u make this.can u tell me!!!

  • please explain how to build a piston complete with cilinder ... thank you

  • Could you please make a vidoe showing what/how a piston is made/works.

  • how u made the cil and piston

  • how u made boiler?

  • Id like to make one myself!

  • this lad will take over the world

  • What time is tea? No offense, but in America we just drink while we work until the job is done! Just wanted to get an idea of how long it took you.

  • Tea is often just another word for dinner.

  • i dont know if you are all hearing imparied but i heard a air compresser start at the end of the clip...nice try dude.

  • Yeah, and the green hose in the boiler is a dead giveaway too............

  • if it runs off air, it will run off steam as well

  • The lack of a FIRE under the boiler should let you know he's test-running on compressed air. :)

    Nice build, thanks for sharing!

  • and the engne on the compreser comi on ;)

  • How does the arm move?

  • What is the diameter of the boiler?

  • can you explain how to make it??

  • I'm liking this a great deal... A very good runner for a day!!

    I may have to chalenge myself? maybe once I have cleared the backlog of things I have on the go!!!

    I checked your other work out too.... Very impressive what you achive with a bit more time :-)

    Ralph.

    P.S. I can't help but think Microman171 has piston and cylinder mixed up!?

  • thats heaps good

  • that's VERY well made!

  • how the air get into the cylinder at the correct time??

  • In this type of engine, the pressure goes into the piston, the shaft that the piston is attached to rotates and that cuts and supplies the piston with the pressure at the correct time.

  • The boys book of engines motors and turbines.

  • mamod? wtf? Man-made?

  • Is the piston assembly a mamod one,or one you had to make?

  • No it is not mamod, I just knocked one up with some scrap lying around

  • How did you make an airtight piston, in such a short time?

  • Easy if you have the right kit. Use a lathe to turn a piece of brass to the whatever external diameter you need. I then drilled it out using a drill bit in the tailstock. This is where the problems state, as a drill hole is only an approximation to a cyclinder, really you should use a poring bar or a reamer. (The cost money). After drill I just smoothed out the bore with some emery paper. The piston was cut on a lathe again. Then measure the bore and turn the piston to suit.

  • Could you make a tutorial for that?
