  • That thing barely produces enough power to sustain itself. I've seen tons of these being made on here but unless its aluminium it's going to rust like hell in no time

  • @ki4hou yah i only have 7 psi running to it i think it sounds cool at slow speed it really cruses at about 50 psi

  • @ki4hou yah i only have 7 psi running to it i think it sounds cool at slow speed it really cruses at about 50 psi oh and it is all aluminum cyl and piston

  • very nice way to be creative !

    good job !!!!!!!!

  • thank you its gonna get put on a massey ferguson tractor with a boiler and steam valves ill send to ya when its done if ya want, it s gonna be a bit cause i have to build the valves on my lathe that vid was to see if i could get a sufficiant amount of low end torque it appears it will be plenty strong enough

  • That's a cool design

  • @jsmythib yeah ive done tons of that myself lol. one of the funniest i did was a mapp gas powered 2 stroke engine. ran great and produced plenty of power for its size. lubrication was an issue so i loaded the crank case with high temp grease. believe it or not the little sucker ran for probably around 15hrs total before the rings were shot which was astonishing to me. also turned one into a model airplane grade engine that i couldnt seem to destroy. got bored with that one fast lol

  • @ki4hou Sometimes ya just want to build something to cross it off the list- not to use it much :)

  • It's cool even though it's useless.

    It surprises me that it works using only 7psi.

    That's the kind of project I used to fool around with when I was bored.

    It doesn't have to be perfect and it doesn't have to make anyone but you happy.

  • you did this because you can

    very good keep on playing and having fun

  • dude that was awsome =3

  • @johnrepair Oh ok I gotcha, it should hold up being aluminum.
