Homebuilt Steam Turbine Model - dirty but working
Loading...
Uploaded by adambus77 on Sep 4, 2009
My new kitchen-experiment. This time small steam turbine with a generator of electricity.
Turbine: made from jar lid and welded pieces of PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
Casing: parts from PC fan + transparent CD box+ epoxy glue
Boiler: whipped cream container
Nozzle: internal diameter ~0.5 mm (?), copper tube
Generator: 9V tape-recorder DC motor

Where did you find the GENERATOR?? D:
-
NICE ONE. we have one it the school. but just bigger.
-
Nice! Know how many volts/amps it produces? :)
-
HOW DID YOU MAKE THE TURBINE? EXPLAIN?
-
Next time try to make a steam engine out of a Predator 500 oil pump. It will spend ALL the pressure you got to turn the rotor. Lots of power, and highly efficient.
-
I think it was done more for the spirit of inquiry rather than to seriously generate power...
Whats wrong with experimenting and learning new skills?
-
all that for that little lamp?!?!?
-
How many RPMs is it doing?
-
cool very cool

Any ideas to where I can find out how to make this? And how do you refill the container?
videodude4 11 months ago
@videodude4 I think it's easy to guess how to make similar turbine. I refill the container through the steam output in two ways 1) using syringe and needle 2) directly from a tap and then I press the button (that for cream) to let the air out of the container

HOW U MADE THE BOILER????MAKE TUTORIAL
chilidress 1 year ago
@chilidress the boiler can be an empty spray container (I used 400 ml whipped cream container) with soldered or glued (epoxy) output tube (I have ~4 mm o.d. soldered tube). The container should be steel, aluminium, brass...Be careful with this - can explode when you overheat/overpressurize it!

so much 4 just lighting that LED??
UnknownK1995 1 year ago
@UnknownK1995 I didn't try to connect more LEDs in parallel. It was just to check how big voltage there was. I'm sure more LEDs will work
