Aluminium?
It was brought up as a joke by a friend of mine to build a steam powered laptop, ie the steam engine generates electricity to power the laptop, I took it as a challenge and have designed a double expansion steam engine. I have access to aluminium, brass and bronze, and would like to know what material you used for your engine. I was told by the retired F&T/sparky engineer, who works at the trade guild, that aluminium isn't idea.

I could imagine you building a mobile forge that could pour directly into your part moulds? And I could imagine you could make your moulds out of a concrete form thats hinged? Ingots continuously feed and pour into casing forms; nice assembly line where all the parts are ready for finishing and assembly? Has a commercial steam engine ever been mass produced like that? Seems most of the photos I've seen all engines were floor built.

Great vid, very nice design! Is the furnace your own design? A vid on the construction of that would be fantastic.

@67Spectre Thanks, yes my own design. I never thought of making video of building it when I put it together several years ago, so nothing to show but the results.

nice one! How do you keep your workshop so clean?
QCTechnologies 7 months ago
@QCTechnologies With a shop vacuum cleaner. Seriously, I like to to let stuff buildup till I can't find some tool or I have no more room on the bench - then I clean it up. No joy in working and trying to keep track of small parts in a mess. Thanks for your comment.

what material do you use for casting mold???
kgeorgejunior 1 year ago
@kgeorgejunior The patterns were made MDF and the parts were molded using home mixed green sand.
