    So glad that you did not diminish your video by adding background music, as so often is the case with other people's videos. Much nicer to listen to the steam engine itself.

    That is an absolutely stunning piece of both engineering and art! If I may, i watched a video recently, and it demonstrated how if you adjust the spool valve to let steam in slightly before the top dead-center of the stroke, it will have a very slight steam "buffer" and will run even more smoothly. I suggest this only because of the knocking that I can hear, and this might help if it is from the engine-side. Otherwise, this is just stunning!

    Love the riveted water tank just looks the part. The use of small screw in lamps to apply differing load is both neat and simple. The loadbank I use is switched to each lamp a lot more work but is used for many projects. Nice work all round. That voltmeter is wonderful, old school but still great on the eye.

      @@mustafayldrm3449 That depends on how you boil your water. A solar boiler would be fine; the only byproduct from that would be cooled water from the steam. Steam is only polluting if you're burning fuel which produces carbon monoxide in order to get it.

    Would it be possible to heat the water with a parabolic solar disc so no fossil fuel would be required ?
    I am assuming you're running the engine on some kind of liquid fuel.

    You obviously are a fine craftsman and machinist. Very well built and highly practical steam/electrical generator. I see you can certainly generate 12 Volts DC and higher, thus, the energy could be stored in a dee cycle, flooded lead acid battery array, or wired straight to a pure sine wave 60 Hz 110 Volt DC to AC inverter to run in an RV. Just camp out somewhere. Pull out that steam boiler/engine to DC electric generator and viola ! What kind of "current" can you get out of that alternator you have your steam engine driving ? How many Watts ?

    Is that thing run off of natural gas or propane or something? I see the tube running under the boiler or whatever it's called. I built a very crude one a while back and it fell apart because of shoddy construction. Yours is MUCH better. That thing is awesome!

  • @pauln1557

    Beautiful work!
    Everyone takes reliable, cheap electricity for granted, your model is a superb demonstration of the engineering complexity required to produce electrical power from a hydro carbon fuel source.
    What a fantastic study subject this would be for school children.
    I wonder how many people realise that the majority of electrical power is still generated via a steam cycle, (from coal, gas or nuclear energy), albeit using turbines instead of reciprocating engines.
    Is the vessel between the boiler and the water tank a condenser?
    Have you ever worked out the overall efficiency? (Electrical energy output compared to gas energy input).
    Regards Paul
