The simplest model of a steam engine. It consists only of a moving cylinder and a piston. Without valves etc.

Also if you want engine to run faster you can clean these bearings from grease and lube them with few drops of oil Great job as always

    • Do the intake- and cylinder holes have to be 100% aligned at the "top of the circle", or at 90°, for it to work? (if the piston is the furthest into the cylinder at 0°, then the "top of the circle" would be at 90°, and the bottom would be at 270°) I am considering making one myself, but afraid I don't have the same facilities. Could this work with a soda can, syringe and a little experimentation?

    • That big old flywheel on there it can probably provide 6-12v. You would be better off with a steam powered turbine. You wouldn’t loose as much energy to friction. If you mean mechanical power not much you can stop them with one finger. The pressure determines the power here. Whatever the boiler can put out and the engine can withstand.

    • @@tmatheson Apparently turbines require very hot steam to not take damage from water droplets, which is why I've been looking into steam engines myself. If it's plausible to use steam to generate at least 1kw of power, combined with the heat of burning wood in the first place would be enough to heat and power a house during the cold and expensive winter months.

Par ailleurs, la réalisation nécessite aussi du matériel et des machines qui ne sont pas à la portée de tout le monde. En fin la vidéo ne montre pas la précision des mesures à respecter pour le bon fonctionnement du produit fini. Pour des bricoleurs comme moi, c'est un plaisir pour les yeux.

    • Oscillating steam engines have plenty of issues of their own to contend with! The main advantage is a compact form factor for a low center of gravity -- ideal for boats. If you wanted to go through the effort to make a larger version, there's no reason I can see to avoid a traditional crosshead and valving.

    @XCyclonusX@XCyclonusX Жыл бұрын
    • Probably not, because it does not move that fast, wear is very minimal, and the crank stroke is using its leverage against the stationary pivot. Could probably use a bearing on the flywheel side where it attaches to the connecting rod.

And with how small it is it wud be more efficient with that small size.
