#engine #steam #3dprinted
You could create a "C" bracket that goes from lid to lid that clips over the ends of the cylinder to hold them in place.
My exact thought, glue isnt always the answer. :)
I would add a flange to the end of the cylinder and the rim of the cap that allows them to be clamped or bolted together.
or make at atmospheric engine, and let the vacuum suck it in place
Or a zip tie. Every engineering problem can be fixed with duct tape, zip ties, WD-40, a hammer, and an oxy-acetylene cutting torch.
There you go ;)
Now I want to see you 3d print a steam whistle

Wonderful project! 👏😌
Love you’re videos
Now I know why I was sent this video. Thanks Mars.
For a next video, how about building a ramjet engine using some kind of compressor or fan to accelerate the intake air to high speed? Love your work!🤩
How many types of engines have you now built, Joel? 😂 Great vid!
Answer: Yes
A lot , by lot I mean a lot
alot
Wait his name is Joel? I have the same name too
not enough
Video idea: create a 3d printed DC motor to use as a pump for one of your rockets, which would allow you to explain a bunch of different physics concepts, maybe a DC motor with Bell electromagnets
Nice
That would be cool
smaller electromagnets so its more compact
Fun project! I always enjoy your videos, you always have a creative solution to thorny problems. You can get much better performance from your engine if you lubricate it. Steam engines used hydrophilic oils that would actually be carried by the steam into the cylinders. If I recall correctly, animal fats (tallow) are particularly suited. The engine will also perform poorly when cold and uninsulated. You'll lose tons of power because it's all used up when the steam condenses back into water in the cold cylinders. Harvesting more of the steam's energy as it expands gives you the most efficiency (compound engines do this using cylinders of varying bores, high pressure cylinders have smaller bores than low pressure cylinders after them).
Your Channel/Videos is so underrated. Very fun and informative to watch!
Video Idea! Steam Powered Radial Engine!! I would love to see how it would work and I know you can do it!
and with an actual boiler this time, not just a pressure cooker lol
You mean like what I suggested two days ago??

Using alcohol in a steam engine sounds like something I would suggest💣🔥
Have you heard of NAPTHA locomotives!
I would too 😂😂😂
that just sounds so ridiculously dangerous and fun at the same time, as it boils at a lower temperature does that mean you can get higher pressures?
@@Anonymouzor yeah but the temperature will increase with the pressure and ultimately lead to a spontaneous combustion because the ethanol is lighting itself up, wich would be very very dangerous. Since it is hard to controll this system so that this doesn't happen, I would not recommend to try this at home.
@@draco5991rep it was a joke dude. You didn't see that he had a bomb and fire at the end of the comment. Everyone knows that this would cause a catastrophic explosion. SMH just about every one of the comments related to this were sarcastic not serious.

Would love to see a second steam engine video only this time print a liquid escape valve to when the liquid cools it returns to the pot making it a closed system!
Amazing channel! Really fond of your narration and innovation! Lots of good wishes from the Indian Himalayas!
Hi, steam locomotive engineer here, and I noticed that while your steam engine does work, it's quite inefficient, and has some potentially fatal errors. First of all, there's water in the cylinder, and this comes from using saturated steam. You could superheat the steam if you wanted, but the most simple solution is to add what are known as drain cocks to the cylinder. Basically, they're valves that you open for the first few strokes of the cycle, to allow the water to drain out. Also, the valve and it's timing, while useful for a simple engine, could benefit from being adjustable. Something like Walschaerts valve gear or Baker valve gear, with a "cutoff" to allow variation in the valve timing, and making the engine more efficient. Also, it seems to leak steam everywhere... I don't have a solution for that one, so just go with your gut on that problem. One thing I'd definitely suggest is getting a dedicated model boiler, like a Wilesco or a Mamod unit. Hope this helps!
I also noticed that there were no piston rings on the piston. With the heated steam, I'm wondering how much blowby he was getting with everything expanding. Though the cylinder doesn't seem to hold much pressure so rings would pose an issue. You would need to solve the issue with containing pressure or design a piston that uses a lubricant as a seal rather than a mechanical seal. Like the rocket engine, you should try to measure useful work of this engine and then tune it as Mike G suggests.
@@DeeEhm graphite is an excenent dry lubricant, although I don't know about it's efficiency in a very wet environment. Maybe something to consider?
this comment section is filled with people I admire
I don't think he was trying to make the best one he could, he just wanted to have some fun.
@@kingsummit5310 graphite gains a lot of friction in water. It turns into a thick paste as well.
I'd love to see a second stage to this making a compound Engine. To improve the efficiency you could try to improve the seals.
You should try and make an engine that runs off of a weight on a line attached to a gear ratio along with the steam engine idea, just to give it a little kickstart and help it run better while under load.
Machined one of these in college as a project. Might have to try and print one now
you can transform a fog machine to make high pressure steam. I already put instead of fog liquid, water. I've already tried this and it really works because the machine has a mini water pump that generates a considerable pressure and when the liquid goes to the heater it boils instantly which almost triples the original pressure
Just use distilled water if you do this,. Or you'll clog your boiler tube with minerals.
You are using it like a flash boiler.
Fluid doesn't flow to higher pressures. For example, in a liquid rocket the fuel pumps generate all the pressure of the exhaust, the combustion in the combustion chamber just increases volumetric flow rate.
neat
How?
Video idea: It'd be neat if you created a methane powered internal combustion engine, and then power it with methane derived from decomposed tomatoes/another source [as noted by Dan] or something like that.
I ran a 2 stroke off ethanol I made once, it's very posible
I suspect the acidity of tomatoes would make methane production (or any other decomposition) difficult.
@@danb4275 Yeah that may be so, but that was mostly a joke in reference to his distaste for them. Maybe he could make it from another source... or just buy some to cut some of the trouble.
Hey Integza, steam jet ejector for vacuum generation is one of the most interesting devices I encounter in the industry which has no rotating component but has a unique geometry that allows it to generate vacuum. Can you make a video about them. Maybe modeling and printing different geometries and comparing the vacuum generated would be interesting!
As a businessman, I respect the effort to return to the classics. However, I would recommend producing a better steam production device, to hopefully make the system more mobile.
Now that you have a steam engine, wouldn’t it be cool to make a little steam powered car? Or a locomotive?
Video idea: have a steam propeller engine for a model airplane(to have it portable use the hydrogen and potassium permanganate mixture, and they could get mixed using syringes injecting the mixture. You could use the same method as you did for the Devil's Toothpaste Rocket Engine that was mounted on the skateboard?)
@integza if this person doesn't get top comment I still want to see you make something similar this.
Video idea: Build an steam engine with four or more cylinders and a crank shaft, and messure how many horsepower it makes and perhaps make a vehicle out of it ;) P. S. Keep up the good work:) love your videos:):)
never knew a person could fit so many '':)'' in one comment.
maybe the real problem of steam cars is efficiency and water recovery. so i presume they'd need high steam pressure at first. it's better to have a steam air-compressor etc... compressed air'd be good to recover water also.
@enriqueamaya3883 it isn't religion. it's a science question.
Idea: you could also make a steam generator similar to those found in doble steam cars, that way you can make more consistent and longer lasting power.
Can you 3d print sth. to genereate electricity from ocean waves (you could try it in a water container with artificial waves)
VIDEO IDEA Produce biodiesel from used cooking oil and propel a rocket loaded with tomatoes to infinity and beyond! 🍅🍅🍅
You can get more pressure without changing the boiler. Just superheat the steam coming from the pressure pot by passing It through a coil that your heat up with a Torch, or that more generally passes through something hotter than 100°C
To keep the caps on without glue: A c-shaped bar (3d print it) that runs lengthways the cylinder with the folded ends holding the whole thing together.
Ive been watching you for a while now Integza, and I just wanna say its awesome to see how much the production quality of your channel has gone up! Loving it man keep it up
Integza! I've spent the last 8 months trying to design the world's first 4 stroke compressed air engine, an I finally have one that works! The problem is it runs like crap and is less efficient than a 2 stroke alternative! I challenge you to improve it!
UPPPPPPPPPPPP Great idea!
How do you even do that?there’s only 2 cycles with pressured air
@@pubz2288 You have a separate camshaft with a 2:1 ratio that opens the valve every other stroke, just like a car engine
@@AxelDayton But why? No need for compression cycles in a steam engine.
You improve it by making it a two stroke - air doesn't explode, so there's no point having a compression/ignition cycle. You've invented something that automatically has half the efficiency (your 2:1 camshaft is the clue).
2:42 goddamn this takes me back. Good ol' ASDFMovie
the asdf spin off... brilliant :)
Video Idea: Take a page out of real steam engine history and attach a second, low pressure, piston to this one’s exhaust to scavenge the remaining power. Titanic used this plus a steam turbine and that worked well for 100% of it’s operational life.
i heard it never needed maintinence once. insane!
Titanics operational life isn't a high bar to beat
@@tobiashegemann1811 thatsthejoke.jpg
I mean, Titanic only operated for a couple of days on its maiden voyage, right?
I'd love to see a triple expansion steam engine, or steam turbine after this! Maybe even poweing a small boat if possible?
A future Idea - Making use of all your previous projects to do a Over the top fun video about the Destruction of the Hated Tomato . in which you use the previous projects as a way of destroying the unloved red fruit. maybe a good way to start off the 2022 period.
Your really good at replicating engines, I'd like to see what engines made firstly by you would look like, like the Wright brothers.
Maybe you could make a potato cannon with alcohol Mr Inetzga!!!😉🙈
I'd love to see you build/ 3D print an entire steam locomotive, incorporating your cylinder/ engine
video idea : you should make a gun and bullet with as much 3d printed part as possible.
If you make the piston bigger it may help because you need less supply pressure but more volume of steam. Another great video 👍
You can 3d print RC boat
When I said your channel was picking up steam, this... isn't what I meant haha. I'm not complaining though - this is great!
Video idea! Steam powered micro generator to charge a cellphone. Maybe take it one step further and make some sort of multi-cylinder version.
3d print some threaded end caps for the cylinder to keep them in place at higher pressures
I'd like to see an opposed piston engine, as I've only seen a few pictures of them & want to see you explain them to everyone. I'm not sure if you could engineer a steam version, but I certainly think It'd be an interesting project.
Cool idea :)
Good idea. I too have seen them where it looks like the pistons will collide in the centre of the block. Good idea.
Check out the channel Kurzey he made a compressed air opposed piston engine and his videos are great.
3d printed car
Video idea: seeing your interest in engines i cant help but think of a transparent gas turbine engine. Try it please.
hows about using a Nalgene bottle as it can sustain tonnes of pressure
This gives me an idea to fully 3d print a functioning locomotive.
You could always add a little sewing machine oil to the cylinder to reduce the friction and that would probably make it so that it's less likely to jam or blow one end of the cylinder off.
You should definitely try making a stirling engine. Almost like a steam engine but it runs on air contracting and expanding because of temperature. And you liked engines, right? Great video!
I'm pretty sure he already has... But good idea anyways!
He has already done it
He kind of did but I meant like the ones you can just put on a cup of warm water and they start turning.
Love your videos! Technically two video ideas; First make a parabolic mirror reflector, Second use said reflector to power a solar powered heat engine (similar to your steam engine but modified in a few key ways) to go from sun to motion with very few steps!!!
UPPPP this one would be sweet!!!
This would be cool to learn about!
Bonus points if it's a Nitinol engine
@@LDSG_A_Team True that! hard to make but not expensive
I think it would be really awsome to see you make a water hammer pump I think that would make an awsome project
Glass for a whoosh bottle. A 'working' steam engine from 3d printed parts, nice job.
Idea: make a powerfull enought steam engine to drive an rc car or so, with stearing and forvard/backwards gears and controll it via the remote. (for any improvements leave a comment)
Candle powered RC car :O
@@aurimasb1732 I don't think a candle can generate enought heat, but some electrical heater could do the job.
Increase amount of candles hehe
You need to superheat the steam as it comes out of the pressure cooker, so you get dry steam, it will also increase your pressure as well. Run it thru a copper coil with a gas flame heating it.
Perhaps you could try and combine all of this in to a simple steam powered helicopter or plane? If you could make a radial steam engine that'd be perfect and look so awesome too!!
This just reminded me that i always wanted to build an RC Steam Engine Boat es kid... i never had the materials and skills, but maybe i could do it if the engines are printable
I would love to see how much power you could generate with that. Even if its a low efficiency of 1%, gives you something to try and beat in future versions!
I'm not 100% sure how you'd do it, but a steam or compessed air powered plane/ flying machine would be a really cool concept to try to make
for anyone who really wants to find out about how steam engines work heres some differences between this engiene and a normal stream engine: 1. normally a steam engine has a much thinner piston 2. that design of piston is designed to be used with a o-ring 3. most steam engine will not use the flywheel for the valve timing. early steam engines used a round peice with and eccentric hole. later engienes used complicated systems that would take far too Long to explain in a comment. 4. most stream engines will use a slide valve and a steam chest. the steam chest is filled with steam/air and the slide valve moves to allow steam/air to flow into one port that is uncovered and connects the other Port to the exhaust hole. 5. alot of engienes use crossheads and crosshead guides to keep the piston rod from bending ofcourse there are exceptions however this is true for the majority of engienes
What a nice little video, much appreciated!
Create a Turboshaft Jet-Engine with a small Helicopter-blade, to measure how much force you can produce, or maybe take off.
I'd be interesting in a video specifically focused on how you make the pistons in these projects and the tricks you've found most effective to creating as close to air-tight 3d printed piston systems. It would be super cool to see if you could calculate their efficiencies too.
You could print a clip to hold the caps in their place when under pressure.
Yes, it's pretty d*mn cool. I would like to see the exhaust vented.
You should 3D print a quasiturbine engine and make it compressor powered to see how efficient it is.
You should build the entire train
I think that's a little ambitious
@@tambienbuscotrabajodeditor5584 yup

Talks about pressure inside a glass bottle while blasting it with a torch (which creates additional stresses in the glass) and not even wearing safety goggles.
Great job dig your teaching style. I know it sounds crazy but what about the time cameras. Like in the cowboy days. I always wondered how it was made
6:20 You could have made the base come up at the ends of the cylinder to hold the end caps in and still be able to dismantle it.
Integza, longer videos please. Watching them is a constant reminder of how much we hate tomatoes and it's an escape from their disgusting grip.
You could use this concept of printing the engine from plastic to build a steam powered piston-propeller driven airplane if you can figure out how to lighten the steam production mechanism. You could try just a metal cylinder with candles underneath maybe. I have a feeling just using a steam jet to power the plane would probably be more efficient, though.
1:10 why did I expectated the bottle to explode
I'm so happy I found this channel! You've definitely earned a new subscriber here
Glad to see it worked! If I may make a few small suggestions, some O-rings, grease, and a O-ring on the piston rod and the cylinder head (packing gland). That's where this engine is likely losing efficiency. Also some cylinder cocks (valves to drain condensed steam from the cylinder) may help, as you can see the water start to build up in the steam test.
I was wondering what the valves were called that drained the water, thanks
you could place a smooth rod with a nut on each end it will handle 8 bars and still be able to be dissassemble
build a steam powered drown!!!!
Ok so how about you build a vacuum motor for a player piano- Ok if you don’t know what that is it’s the 5 bellow engine that converts the vacuum created by the foot petals into rotational energy to spin the roll. This roll can be programmed with different songs for the piano to play.
As user C Moore mentioned, a steam turbine would be great! Just to see how much power you can harness from a particular heat source. Either run a driveshaft directly to a vehicle or turn it into electricity with a generator. Messing with the drive shaft gearing or the shape of the turbine blades could be fun trial and error.
I also would like to see this steam engine improved. As many other comments suggest, O-rings would be an automatic improvement, especially with the low pressures you're working with. Too much pressure is leaking out of both the piston chambers and the valve. At 3-4 times the pressure, waste wouldn't be such a big deal, but losing half of such a small input is kindof rough lol. Friction would be a big problem with o rings so it might necessitate looking at alternative seals... Like in modern engines, solid piston rings are a thing so 3d printing a "soft spring" could do better than a rubber ring in theory. Plus it'd center the piston up so less jiggle would be present. Another change could be to move the valve onto a lower portion of the cylinder to help evacuate condensed water while maintaining visibility for the sweet transparency effect to be maintained.
There's another engine that works both like combustion engine and steam engine, it's called Stirling engine, and this type an engine uses heat so that the heat pushes the pistons in the cylinders, it is also maybe better than steam engine.

You should try redesigning and building or just making your own version entirely of Nikola Tesla’s peace ray or death ray to melt a tomato. That would be super awesome to see what you could do with that! For anyone that doesn’t know Nikola Tesla tried designing a defense weapon that directed charged particle beams. Love your videos!
You could try installing a modified version of this engine on some sort of (3d printed) car or even train with a pressurized container to power it. Would be cool to actually see this power a vehicle.
Total off topic: your lighting in these vids is excellent.
I used to have a hard time with the acted-up "don't care about understanding the phenomena, I'm only in it for burning things" attitude that I seem to perceive in your videos, but you really do a great job. If yoou had explained a bit more the equation you showed I think I would have subscribed :P
Video idea: I think the natural continuation from steam engine is to build a Stirling engine. Those are much more interesting than steam engines, but quite as easy to build. Furthermore, there is at least three main types of Stirling engines to choose from.
It's always nice to see when You build an engine that works pretty much as expected.
You should try improving on that engine, and then you should try putting it into a model train, car, or any other steam engine powered mechanism .
"3d printed old age electric motor" would be amazing theme 😀
