vaiojoe the boil is too harsh, just lower the wick for a smaller flame. You will still boil the water just not such a hard boil

vaiojoe watch the video again the water isn't coming from the thread it spilled over from the piston side. if you have a bigger air gap above the water it won't over boil up into the piston, or have a smaller flame. you need to balance the flame to the boiler size, you wouldn't run this engine with a blowtorch.

Steam engines have incredible torque for the size compared to combustion as the simply build more steam pressure if it stalls.. The slower it goes due to load the more torque it outputs.

That's cool. Now if you were able to make a condenser and feed the water back into the boiler, you be able to run it so long as you can keep the fire going.

@brassandbricks7701

What you are suggesting is called a "condenser". It's essentially a big cooling tank into which the engine exhausts. The steam condenses (hence the name) and turns into water that can be pumped back into the boiler. This way you lose very little water and can go a looooong time on a single filling ;)

@JamesWillmus

Such a thing exists. Unfortunately, since nothing is 100% efficient, water being heated, used, and cooled repeatedly would not work forever.

with a truly gas-tight seal, a condenser and a small pump of sorts the water would not need to be refilled basically ever. the energy comes from the fuel, so it's not like it would break the laws of thermodynamics. the problem would actually be not creating a water hammer due to the extremely low pressure zone you'd be creating because of it

I really enjoyed watching the machining process a lot more than the engine running. Good job!

That's a cute engine that does what it's supposed to do. If I made one I'd polish that brass to a mirror finish and set the little jewel in a curio cabinet for a conversation piece. Engrave my name and date on bottom so grand kids can say, "I can't believe grandpa actually made that pretty little thang !"

MY 6th - 8th grade shop teacher Mr. Bogert made a steam engine so small that 6 of them could fit on a dime. It was featured in "Ripley's Believe it or Not". He powered it with compressed air. Congrats, you do beautiful work.

Not just showcasing, but suddenly adding new machining content. Very good! Much appreciated.

From now on, everytime I close my eyes at night, I will see those unsightly, unfinished solder blobs on the inside of this shiny new reservoir..

Do you think 'modern steam' has a future in residential/camp sized engines that use multi-fuels? The Stirling engines don't have much torque, but the modern materials available now make the neat little models more scale-able. It seems like commercially available steam engines have always been either huge or small models. The technology could be up graded for practical off grid use.

Beautiful work as always!

Loved the modifications to an already neat little steam engine. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing! You really keep outdoing yourself! You are a huge inspiration to me.

Serious request. turn the flywheel into an electrical generator. Drill 4 holes around its perimeter and glue in neodymium magnets, then make it a partial shroud with copper coils around it.

A very nice single cylinder oscillating engine. It is well made and a little honing of the valve gear and a gasket on the boiler thread would correct the little errors seen in this video. Congratulations.

Man you make the best machining videos. You’re not the best machinist on youtube (tubalcain), but your content is some of the most creative and your presentation is fun and engaging.

That milling was really satisfying

That's a lot of power for such a tiny, simple engine

beautifully constructed.

Nice to see a man who knows how to use a lathe! Great job. How about a nice steam stack for the exhaust!

You should make this into a desk fan for cooling the room.

great music for the project :)

Sounds better than most cars out there

Good JOB!!! You can produce your own engines.

Nice craftsmanship.

Beautiful bit of kit

Masterfully done, awesome work mate.

I am so jealous of the tools you have access to. Hope you recycled the metal shavings. Nice video!

This is so satisfying

Could you please make a belt driven phone charger using a steam engine somewhat like this? That would be awesome to see!

Looks Very Cool

The bubble that popped up in your spirit burner near the end suggests you're overheating it with the new boiler being so low, watch out if your running it for more than a few minutes.

Already seeing the V8 coming :D

That sounds really good it sounds like a v-twin engine

New idea from estim engen..👇👇 kzread.info/dash/bejne/qGmCl5uTZqjfo8o.html

It would be cool to have it doing some work.

Could you collect the exhaust, cool it (would it need to be cooled?) and then pipe it back into the cylinder for a longer run time? All ways love the videos :)

What you suggesting is something that every nuclear powerplant does. Because you do generate entropie (not usable energie) when converting heat energie into electricity. You have to transfer the entropie out of the system by cooling the exhaust gas down to a liquid. Then you can reheat it and re use it.

@fastchill

This would also increase its power because of the created low pressure zone by condensation. Bringing the water back to the same reservoir might not be possible since it's under pressure.

I really love you videos. I wish I had a metal lathe and your knowledge. Greetings from Spain. 👍🏻

Replace the motor in a Prius with this. Electrical/steam power.

you could make a small box on top of the exhaust to trap the steam and somehow make the steam go back in the boiler so it could have infinite use?

Look for Steam oil...it will add compression.. Add a radiator to Cool the water and recycle.. Then add a Solar lens.. use the Sun to heat the system.. Add a generator and away you go.. They say a Steam turbine at Full is the best for efficiency.. based on Fuel used..

To: Clayton game-hughes, A Stirling engine runs on WARM (not even HOT)-AIR!! Some are even solar powered!! Also, Stirling engine uses no water and operates at a MUCH lower RPM.. so, no, this is NOT another kind of Stirling engine as it also produces MUCH more power than a Stirling engine of anywhere NEAR the same size. The steam engine came first anyway.

Wow beautiful.

Very nice little engine and machining. Is the flame a little bit too close? How is it lubricated? I would imagine with the longer running time this could be an issue.

The flywheel runs true? Something is wrong, send it back.

I bet if you soldered brass tube around the reservoir, and then wrapped the tube section in a firesafe insullation layer, the tubing would improve heat transfer into the reservoir by giving more contact area and forcing the hot air to remain in contact along the length without mixing cold air in. With more of the flame's heat captured I'd expect faster steam production which should make it stronger, though might not have a huge impact on top speed.

Art is Soooooo good

You are perfectionist, lol. It was fine with 2.5 run if you ask me.

what runs out first? the fuel or the water? Hmmm...

Awesome video I hope one day I will have the skills to be able to do that I don't understand how you were able to duplicate the threads unscrewing it into the other part

I like that Song ! 😁

You went through a whole heck of a lot more trouble than you needed to in order to expand the boiler. You could have just made the boiler to sit higher in the legs and cut new threads into the top of it instead of adapting the original top to the new bottom.

have you tried increasing surface area of the boiler for better thermal coupling with water? you can just throw in or solder a bunch of brass wire cuttings inside the boiler.

I would love to see if you could incorporate a dynamo to it somehow to see if you could charge a phone with it or maybe a laptop lol

try to make a bigger one by yourself. that will be pretty cool

How does it work, what is going on at the top with the cylinder ??

This is great

So nice !!!!!

that things probably got more power than engine im workin on lol

this engine can action kind of dremel tool ? no? like mini disk cutter or for sanding little part of metal ...

I recently bought one of these and it ran well. However between the cylinder and the exhaust it is not forming a tight seal I think it is the problem but not sure if you have any insight please let me know thanks!
