  • which one is easeir to build the verticle stem engine or horisontal?

  • @tut153

    Hello; The vertical one in this video is easier to build than the horizontal engine in the other videos. This one uses a single acting piston, making setting up the steam valve easier, and it has less parts to make over all.

    The horizontal uses a double acting piston which makes the steam valve setup and ports a little more difficult and it also has to have a gland seal made for it so steam doesn't leak out of the back of the cylinder.

    Thank you for your interest.

  • I love it!! I just love little engines like this. I see that you built this yourself but do you know of any kits or anything? Id sure love to give this a try some time!

  • A company called PM Research has some kits. google them.

  • Wow that little engine really does run smooth

    Have you made it yourself Dcw ?

  • Thanks for your comment. Yes, I made it on a small lathe and mill. It is running on an aquarium pump, about 2 psi.

  • where did you get plans for it

  • @dcw56 thx dude

  • you can tell its well built by how slowly it will run.

  • hehe, very sweet, very well running,

    BTW I doupt you had the "dramatic" music in the background purposely on , but it is fitting very well too.

  • Yes, I made it myself. It's mainly made of brass stock. I used a small lathe and mill. Search google for "single acting steam engine". You might find some plans.
