Dynamo test

Dynamo at last attached to my Stuart Score, I wanted to see how much electricity that I could produce with it.

Good project James,like your vids.Time for you to buy/build a much bigger coal fired boiler my friend!Then the engine will be able to put out some decent work with a big head of steam,you could run a much digger dynmo then!!plus you could also see what the limitations of the engine are,have fun!!Stew,

Ahh, yes - the trick is finding said much bigger coal fired boiler!

I saw this on display at the model engineering show today. It looks very nice "In real life rather than video".

[jamespetts2]

Ahh, excellent - glad that you liked it! Pity that I didn't have time to put all the drain cock pipework back in time after doing some work on it. Thank you for the comment :-) I will be at the show to-morrow myself.

penis

yes..you can save energy for that...but the thing is you have to cut more trees and woods to fuel that machine...

i like your murdering gloves

Could it also be used for Tea or Coffee? Something useful, you know ;)

how much ampere

I do love the old steam engines but I have to say congratulations on finding the most inefficient way of turning fossil fuels into electrical energy. Maybe you could use the steam to spin a turbine connected to your generator then measure the output ratio compared to this setup.

couldnt you just make your boiler burn hotter mixture of wood petrol and coal maybe

[AlfistaWayne]

Fantastic demonstration ! One of the best on youtube ! Congratulations ! Great setup !

Boiler suits aint your thing is it? Run a steam eninge in a suit and white shirt is so borgois! Loose the chaindrive get some real flat belting, its part of the culture! ;)
