LMFAOOO …!!
Are you related to David G. Hall ..?!
I'm impressed
Yahh how are you doing now is there any improvements ?
No, I haven’t messed with it in quite a while, been busy on a bunch of other things ..
I want to do this to a SIKK fat tire but heard it’s really hard to do on a fat tire bike. Did you have to mount the engine off center? Do you have to buy a shift kit or can you use the motor kit as it comes?
You DO NOT have to mount it off center if you use a shift kit, also, the rear disc brake is on the left side .. Mine went together pretty easy really ..
We need more videos on this! Please!
Unbelievable, most people with a college degree probably couldn’t build this.
Thank you August, it just needs an efficient boiler ..!
I'm interested in building a small wood-fired steam boiler simply to create steam to heat water in a tank about 15-25 feet away (and more or less downhill.) I have a wood-fired outdoor water stove now, but it requires an electric pump to circulate the hot water, and I'm hoping to find a way to do something similar for a very small cabin without electricity. Can you recommend any books or other ways to learn about generating and using steam? Thanks!
Don’t know of any books on it but I’m sure they’re out there, there’s a guy on UA-cam that built a flash boiler ..
@@CapnSchep Thanks! I don't know what a flash boiler is, so that's a helpful search term. Appreciate it!
@@patrickcleburneuczjsxpmp9558 You’re welcome and good luck 👍 ..!
Ride on brotha man
this goes hard,
Leonardo Da Vinci se queda corto..!!!!! Gracias amigaso, Gracias a Dios por permitirme ver tu video, agradecido de todo corazón por el conocimiento compartido..!!
Thanks my friend Genius..!!!
I love it! I hope you still alive and have newer improved versions!
Could the boiler run an air tool, like maybe an impact gun? And could the gun turn the alternator?
nice motorized fat bike you got there😁
Thanx NINJA, it’s a little underpowered with just a 48cc 2 stroke, but learned a lot putting this together ...
What did you use
2 bicycle pumps with viton O-rings ...
Guys Question , Pls can someone answer ? Does boilers Store enough steam first and then the engine is started or it's constantly producing steam .. ? If yes It's hard to imagine how that much steam can be produced in that size of a boiler
It's a bit of both really - the boiler is heated first and stores the steam as it gets up to pressure, then the engine is run and as it uses up the steam then the boiler boils more water into steam to make up for it
How wide is the Bottom Bracket (just the frame not the crank shaft)? I'm thinking about getting this and putting a Bafang Mid Motor kit on it.
James Savage The bottom bracket is roughly 5 1/2” wide ...
@@CapnSchep Thanks Capn!
James Savage 👊
Ottimo lavoro, bravissimo!
Confession here... your bike was my inspiration to try and build my first motorized bicycle. Was hoping you could give me some pointers on do's and don'ts, what you've learned since that build, and what you would do differently. I'm an old dude and not interested in a speed demon but would like to enjoy the ride without constantly braking down. I have a sikk ufo cruiser with 7 speeds. I'd like to use the speeds because I live in PA where it is hilly. Appreciate any advice from your experience. Really liked what you put together and you're the first person I've seen successful in converting a sikk bike. I like the thought of a 4 stroke because of stability but concerned it will not work with the offset. I know I'll need a shift kit from sick bike parts (already talked to them)
Lynn Robert Will you be using a shift kit and what type of bicycle will you be motorizing ?
@@CapnSchep I will be using a shift kit and the bike is a Sikk UFO Cruiser
Lynn Robert just use a good quality chain on the pedal drive, I also added a chain tensioner of my own design on the secondary chain ( right side ). I would also use a 66 cc engine. I used a 48cc on that one in the video and it’s under powered ... Good luck and keep me posted ...!!
This is amazing! Just watch yourself with that boiler. Although it's probably fine something *might* weaken and break, and you don't want to be around for that.
Add a safety valve or something
That's not 100A... Your ammeter is faulty
Apparently you're not paying attention because he said it was not working
fucking sick
Five years later...is this engine still going?
Yes it is ..
@@CapnSchep 2022?
Great work man!
hell yeah If the shit hits the fan the good ol country boys will always figure out a way. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yessir, Murica ..!
Friggin sweet. I have the exact same bike and plan on motorizing it soon. Asides from a longer shaft are there any other things I need to make this work as well as any other recommendations you might have for me? As for the motor I'm not sure what I want. Probably a 80cc 2 stroke since I'm a heavy guy. Any and all advice is extremely appreciated, thanks😀
Sorry about the late response, you tube sucks and didn’t notify me .. I hope your build went good .. Mine went together fairly easy, yeah, go with the bigger motor, I have a 48cc on that one and it’s way underpowered, I built another one with a 66/80, much better ...
if you had put the camera one inch closer, we would have seen better!
Is there any way I can contact you and get some plans to build a steam engine like this
I would just add another post or a bar going from the flywheel to the table
Great stuff....keep it up....
that flywheel need some balancing lol, but impressive being its made from pieces of scrap.
You are right sir ...!!
Aynway you could show how you built the valve and the cylinder and pistons? how much machining did this require?
Zero machining ..
I love this. Can you make a Video of the Piston Assembly.
Where did u buy a long enough crank i have the same bike and what to b able 2 do both motor and pedal please let me know
I used the crank that came with the bicycle ...
Can u help with the boiler only, like can u share ur work on the boiler part of the engine.
There's not much to it, it's just an air tank rated for 120 PSI half filled with water ...
mirrors are a must riding in dense traffic like that. thanks for sharing! I ride my 49cc everywhere, even a 150mile road trip
That's for sure, I won't ride without one ...!!
With a stroke of 4 inches and a piston of 2 inches in diameter at 40 psi and 160 RPM it would produce about .2 HP per cylinder and 6.5 FLBS of torque per cylinder so twin single acting cylinders would be .4 HP and 13 FLBS, When you had it at 200 RPM it was at a little over .5 HP and again 13 FLBS of torque. I used a metronome and matched the chuffs. Just to give you a rough estimate.
Thankyou Branden, that seems about right, I wonder how much H.P. with 120 p.s.i. of steam, would you know ..? I don't trust that tank with that much steam pressure ....
@@CapnSchep make a water pipe boiler or a single pipe boiler they can withstand pressure. and a small amount of water is safer.
@@emil.honganmaki5461 A flash mono tube boiler would be the way to go .. Right now I’m too busy building my 23 foot shoal draft sail boat .. Perhaps later down the road I’ll look into that . Thanx for the suggestion though ..
thank you, I have alot of that "mechanic aptitude" as I have built a adult trike, and beach cruiser with engine kits. I patiently waiting for a chance to buy a mongoose.
You should not have too much difficulty then .. Good luck and have fun ...!!
I saw your trike video, very nice work ...!!
Thank you, and it is exciting to ride! I wish I could find an axle to wheel hub connector
was it difficult......?
Not too bad, just have to be patient and have mechanical aptitude ...
solid as fuck Mr.! was difficult to install the 40 tooth sprocket,and are you having any engine kit to mongoose problems I mean attachment problems? do you have another video of some serious riding?
Check it out ...!! ... ua-cam.com/video/OEJF4vFr3lg/v-deo.html
Did you have to swap out the bottom bracket for a different one to work on this monster? Looks b@d @$$
No, the bottom bracket that comes with the bike works great ...!! You'll need a longer jack-shaft, about 7 inches or so, and a lock collar to hold the jack-shaft in place. It's not a hard build at all, lots of gear ratios to play around with ...!!
+CapnSchep Thanks for the tip man
You're welcome, I'm building another one with a 7 speed mega range 34t - 13t free wheel sprocket cassette from a hardly used Schwinn Skyliner and changing some gears to make 1st gear top speed around 10.8 mph, and 7 th speed around 28.38 mph ... Sick bike parts allow you to specialize your order, swapping and/or excluding parts, deflating the tires to around 12 lbs or so, this thing eats up gravel roads and sand ...!! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You recommended a longer jackshaft...where can i get one?Or can you recommend a reputable website?
When I ordered the shift kit from sickbikeparts.com I substituted the standard 5 inch shaft for the 10 inch shaft that comes with the kit, then I ended up cutting it to 7 inches long ..Or, search the web, a 10 inch jackshaft is relatively cheap .
sounds very good & looks powerful !!.
very interesting cylinder & piston arrangement !!!
Thank you, they are 2 foot operated air pumps ... Here's a video of this engine running on compressed air .. ua-cam.com/video/qTnid26YjKg/v-deo.html
Ha! Oh shit yeah!!!
Thank you for those kind words ...!! LOL
that bike looks so stupid
Your stupid! where's yours at boy?
Thats it lol? All ya got!
We need more like you
Myke Marss Thanx Myke, for that positive comment ... !!
You probably want to take this video down before a boiler inspector sees it. A boiler without a sight glass is unsafe and throws up a lot of red flags and can very easily attract the attention of local/state boiler inspectors.
CapnSchep Maybe you shouldn't mess with boilers.. Lubrication in the boiler won't cause it to blow up; low water, poor construction, poor maintenance, operator error/lack of knowledge and using the improper materials can cause that. You should feel very lucky that you were hurt. Steam and scalding hot water can cause 3rd degree burns very, very quickly and breathing steam can cook your lungs. This is why you should only operate a boiler when you have the proper knowledge and safety items and know how to properly operate and care for it. The general rule of thumb is that 1 cup of water can turn into 800-1800 cups of steam, depending on what the pressure and temperature are of the steam. That is a lot of power.
It done blowed up...!! It done blowed up real goood... Yawn ...
That is not something that you should be proud of...
It ain't nothen but macheenra ..!! Kerblewie ..!!
+CapnSchep how big was the boiler explosion?
Do you have a water glass and safety valves on the boiler? What grade of oil are you using to lubricate cylinders?
I have a 75lb pressure relief valve, I am using used motor oil as a lubricant, about 6 to 8 ounces of oil for 12 gallons of water.. I have no sight glass for the water level.. I run it no more than 1 1/2 hours at a time...I put the oil in the boiler, then fill the tank 1/2 full with water, about 12 or 13 gallons...It is a very inefficient boiler and I've never had more than 50 lbs of pressure in it...
You NEVER operate a boiler without a water sight glass. You ALWAYS need to know where the water level is and have a way to put water into the boiler. It is not safe to operate a boiler and not have a way to know where the water level is. Steam is very powerful and if the boiler runs dry, the sheets can overheat and the pressure inside the boiler can bend/tear the sheets and a boiler explosion can occur. Even at 50 psi steam is very powerful and safe operation is a must. Motor oil is a very, very, very poor lubrication in a steam application. It will cook off and provide little to no lubrication. A proper steam oil is needed and should be pumped with a mechanical lubricator (or have a hydrostatic lubricator) into the steam delivery line to the cylinders. Oil should NEVER be added to the water. Oil floats on water and will cause a thin layer of oil to cover the water. This will cause the water to foam as the steam bubbles won't be allowed to break when the reach the surface of the water and it will foam like a pot of boiling water that has pasta in it. The foam can be carried over into the cylinders and will ruin any lubrication in the cylinders. If the boiler is foaming bad enough, when the safety valve lifts, the water can climb up the foam and escape through safety valve and can drain the boiler of water in a short order. Oil in the water won't lubricate the cylinders.
Thanx, I'll round up a few bucks and do that.. ! I've run this engine hundreds of hours using old motor oil mixed with the water, when the water gets hot, the oil seems to mix very well and makes this engine run more slippery than snake oil, and also, there is no metal to metal friction in this engine as it uses Viton O-Rings for the piston rings and slide valve seals. Thanks for your advice.. ...
Oil and water don't mix; never have and never will. Steam oil should be used with steam as it has additives to keep it from breaking down in high temperatures. (Steam at 50 psi is 298 F). Even with no metal to metal contact, there is still friction between the rings and the bores. This ought to be properly lubricated with steam oil, not motor oil. Nothing is a proper substitute for the proper oil.
Ernst Flow Industies has sight glasses. Make sure you the steam rated one if you buy from them. www.ernstflow.com/ LocoParts is a supplier for the Live steam hobby and they also have glasses. www.locoparts.biz/parts.html#Sightglass
where is your water glass for the boiler?
and your safety valves
Michael Barron Seriously, get a pressure release valve. It costs like $10. One day something WILL weaken and fail and you want it to be a pressure valve.
Burke Moras Thanx Burke, but it's already got one,,,
1.9 miles in 5 minutes flat comes out to be around 22.9 MPH average...!! Love this lil bike..lol...!!
