- The FULL LENGTH version of the Coal Fired Steam Cycle. See "Jenny" in glorious 19 minute detail!
Introducing the Sanderson Steam Cycle! Named "Jenny", this home built coal fired steam cycle was painstakingly crafted over the last 4 years to look like it could have been built in the 1920's.
A traditional coal fired steam engine on 2 wheels! You've seen nothing like this before.

A University degree does NOT make an Engineer. YOU ARE AN ENGINEER! Your abilities are Extremely apparent! Congratulations on a WONDERFUL creation.
U r right bro
Ur right , good comment
👍
After six years in engineering school, seeing this makes me feel both amazed and disappointed. Building this kind of wonderful machine is the reason I got into engineering but now I realize that I haven't learn much and hope I can get something as amazing as that bike working before I die.
@@yoyoo50 If you want to build something then build it don't procrastinate about it
Get this magnificent beast to a bike show and it wouldn't surprise me if you win "best in show" or at least a "crowd favourite" award.
BEST in Show - GUARANTEED!
Yes exactly
Same at a steam show I reckon
If he makes more of these and sells them, he could start a steam cycle gang and call them The Hell's Stokers.
Or the Stack Eulands?
hell's steam punkers ?
@@duggydugg3937 lol
They can market it as an evolution of the latest harley-davidson technology.

It's a pity the film studio added music. Otherwise, what a great machine. We need more things like this, make the world a saner place...
Agreed! The "music" destroys concentration and atmosphere.
Sound is such an important part of experiencing a steam engine. Let the machine do the talking...
Yup, the cheesy canned generic rock and roll rears it's ugly head once more.
Saner? Perhaps unless we all go crazy waiting for steam to come up while we slowly recreate the famous London Fog.. ha ha ha
oh ..music... that's what ythat is
The poor guy never gets the steam pressure up high enough, because he has to demonstrate constantly a hundred things that require steam. That aside, he has a beautiful machine shop.
All it needs is a period sidecar attached to it and it'd be brilliant for taking people for rides at traction engine rallies and the like (if we ever get them back again). And steam railway galas too. Good on you - great fun!
I might actually feel safe on a steamcycle if it had a sidecar.
Have the firemen in the sidecar
Good comment
Yes it will look great. Great idea.
I don't think it has the beans to pull a sidecar and passenger
That is a thing of beauty. Love it when form & function come together to make something like this.
Except it functions worse than 140 year old steam motorcycles (velocipedes).
Guarda un po'' questa moto a vapore dei primi del '900. Era impegnativa...
@@mrnickbig1 Remember.first speed records!!!
The 'Jeantaud" and "Jamais Contente".struggling at about 100 Km/hour to win de prize !!!
Who won? Electric or Steam power ?
(I beg your pardon, English is not my.mother language)
I've seen steam cycles before, but none approach Jenny in elegance and craftsmanship. Beautifully executed.
The literal meaning of 'Steam Punk', what an amazing piece of craftsmanship! Kudo from PNW Canada!
I've built 6-7 steam locos with similar size boilers. Your workmanship is outstanding.
Too bad this man wasn't Scottish, He'd be Scotty, on StarTrek, great,great grand father.
I completely agree. I'm just wondering why he decided to use the Steam Tank fro structure and not build an undercarriage. Now, it's obvious his Steam Bike is for home use and for driving around the Neighborhood, but I am still left wondering. It saves on room not having an under-carriage and on weight as well. The tank is solid enough for structure, but the handles are directly welded to the Pressure tank and the front-end is supported by the tank and tank alone. That's concerning from a structural point of view.
Let me be clear when I say that I also agree, his workmanship is impeccable. And you certainly don't need to have a degree to be an engineer, and Sandy proves that. I'm just wondering why he didn't build an under-carriage or uni-body.
@@theshadowsovereign8914 in terms of traction engines (sometimes referred to as steam tractors in North America), the British tradition is to use the boiler as thr structural part of the vehicle as well as the source of power, so maybe he got inspiration.
@@alexhando8541 Yes, I just googled 'STEAM TRACTOR' and went directly to the images section. These Steam Tractors are considerably larger than the bike and they also use the tank as structure. Makes sense since these are huge tanks, but then again the wheels are mounted to the bottom of the tank, not the top of the tank. That is putting strain and stress and the mount points of the handlebars. The wheels are not 'holding' the tank in position, they're 'hanging' the tank into position. Albeit the fact Sandy installed 4 mounting points for the handlebars to the tank, it would have been more structurally sound if the handlebars would have 'cradled' the tank, instead of 'hanging' the tank.
This is an observation. I am invested in this as it has peaked my interest. It's a wonderful build. I'm a Plumber by trade, so I know what it's like working with copper and steam lines. This work is amazing. And please don't mistake my observation as being critical or being subjective. It is an objective point to a legitimate engineering question.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment. :)
Best custom motorcycle # 1
Brilliant bit of engineering! He is a clever chap but very modest too which is refreshing to see. He should do BBC programmes like Fred Dibnah used to do. Great character for it!
Beautiful job Sandy, It's got the look of 100 year old technology, I've been thinking of building one myself but using the technology of the 1930's Doble Steam Car using a steam generator which creates only the steam needed to power the engine much like an on demand water heater, then condensing the steam back into water and recycling it. also taking it one step further by using a radial steam engine mounted inside the rear wheel. I'm also thinking of using liquid fuel such as waste motor oil. but that project will probably wait until I retire. Like I said beautiful job, keep it up.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought of the Doble cars when I saw this.
Yes & steam cars are a level of magnitude safer than a steam bike. And the stanly steamer held the speed record for a long time!
@sourand jaded interesting ideas but the aggression and insults were uncalled for. Let people make what they wanna make
Love to see that come together!
Anthracite, 5:10, is the highest grade of coal available. It is almost entirely carbon, with very little sulfur, hydrogen, nitrogen or anything else to make smoke. It burns very hot, but is very difficult to ignite, hence the kindling and the paraffin (kerosene) soaked paper. He uses small pieces for easier igniting and faster burning, to make more heat out of a smaller burner.
... so it's running go premium.
Thanks for the explanation.
Good clarity, intelligent
A lot of truth in that, although a good grade Dry Welsh Steam Coal is just as high quality and clean burning, with just a touch more volities which makes it more controllable, very good steam raising, as well as a little easier to light. Currently easily available and no more expensive than Chinese anthracite, although all that may change is the welsh government is refusing to renew Foss-y-fran's extraction license.
Couldn't they grind the Anthracite into a powder? I read that it burnt very well and there was a steam train design that used powder coal.
Just goes to show there are still really good people doing really good stuff!
That is ridiculously cool. I could watch 4 hours of this.
Great interview and demonstration- perfect for an interested layman.
Good comment
I can smell it. Takes me back to my time on the railway. She is a thing of beauty. It’s alive!! Thank you Wiz
This is genius. I love this mind bending cycle. What an unexpected treat.
Thanks Sandy.
Beautiful machine. Steam powered anything is becoming a lost art and it's fascinating to see it put to use in unconventional ways.
Man of few words, million thoughts and ideas in the head.
Absolutely magnificent! His attention to detail is amazing!
Very nice. Well though out, obviously designed to be used, and love the fact it's effectively laid out as per a traction engine!
There is nothing like building something with your own hands and seeing it work. What a gem!
This absolutely is a peak in function and also design! Really fascinating!
Cool use of chipping hammer spring handles. I love that. I’m an American boilermaker I’ve built and repaired hundreds of boilers but steam train engines were the smallest. This is so cool
This is the coolest machine ever build. Great job.
Simply wonderful. What a great project.
Thank you for posting Dsndy. Well done. You have made a fantastic machine.
Very cool! He did a great job and I am sure it's fun to take a spin around town!
This might be the most amazing machine I've ever seen. Please share more!
oh my god, what an amazing piece of engineering! Absolutely priceless!!
This Locomocicle is a Beautie!! Chapeau to the Engineer ( Perfect for cold Winterdays)
Brings back the original meaning to the phrase steel horse on the song wanted Dead or alive.
Fantastic! What a nice job all around. Looks great and what a blast to watch it all work.
Way cool..Thanks for sharing...would love to see it in person..
Astounding! Built like a watch.
That is flipping amazing. What a build!
That thing is so well thought out. Great build!
Oh fer chrissakes why the music? let's hear the natural sound. and maybe more vision and sound of it running along the road?
The bike's smokin' ! Literally.
It helps letting of some steam :p
Gorgeous piece of engineering!
It's so beautiful I want to cry!
100% steampunk approved.
But, i would like to see more riding.
the craftsmanship, very nice!
Beautifully mad. Love it. And still lighter than a few of the biggest modern production bikes!
The design is stunning
Absolutely magnificent!!!
Always loved old motorbikes but I've never come across one as truly beautiful and inspiring as this one.
That is absolutely magnificent!!!!!
Great job! Beautiful piece of work. Thanks for sharing.
It's a clever man that can build something without truly understanding how it works. Fantastic machine and so beautifully done.
Brilliant machine. Hope to see it at Stormin 2021!
a mechanical masterpiece ...extremely beautiful
THAT'S technical art 👍 👏! And the short rear fender makes it a Bobber 😎!
Just amazing. Thank you.
Splendid.😄 Thank You.
Really wonderful! - Hats off to you Sir!!...
Fantastic Mark
this is the most impractical motorcycle i have ever seen. Its a beautiful piece of craftsmanship
Beautiful machine, truly a steam punk motorcycle.
That thing is awsome. Can't wait to see #2.
Recently I developed a fascination with steam engines, and I have to say this is great.
Beautiful work! Youre a talented individual. This kind of project is the pulling together of all kinds of interests and skillsets. Hats off...outstanding !
Awesome video. Amazing detail and display of the "art" Yeah, it would have been nice to see more footage of it operating.
I love the ingenious safety precautions built into this engine
First of all, this is such a beautiful vehicle.
Stunning.Thank you.
I love it!!! What an amazing idea!!
Made me smile every time I watched it... YES, i watched it more than once 😂😉
Great work. Beautiful
This is a piece of art,love it would love to have one ,great stuff thankyou for sharing.
This thing is so bad ass it sends bad ass to the wood shed 👍👍 I love it. Absolute rolling art!
unbelievable machine. Super job!!
Absolutely amazing 👍👍👍
Brilliant a talented inventer , this is a priceless machine of beauty
It's so stylish; black with that fine gold trim, matching the polished brass. It just looks right.
Holy cow what a beast well made that man what a skill and love he has for engineering excellence
I'm blown away...🤯
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen and now I need one... thanks alot 😒
Superb. Excellent !!
Az egyetlen kellemetlen elem az orrod előtti kémény.
Ettől eltekintve szuper!
Excellent work!
What a marvellous device
Fantastic! Congrats!
Excellent video...great interview!
A truly magnificent piece of a steam motorcycle, better than this, it is difficult to do by a private person. The engine itself that is on top is a work of art of the very rare kind, you must have great insight to make something like this.
I see one of these in Jay Leno’s future.
So enjoyed, lovely bike.
So cool. Fantastic talent.
My great grand father built one in Australia around 1900. It's still on display in Victoria.
When you see a video of a past work colleague, had to comment, as that's a beautiful bike, great work,
Lol! It's an exercise in the beauty of impracticality, but you can't help feeling he's having a massive lend of us all. Love the bit at the end when it dumps the contents of the firebox on the road.
I love the steam it puts out around bottom of bike making it look real dramatic
Wooow what a incredible bike made HATS off to you sir 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🛴🛵🛴🛵
Fascinating. Very nice
Steam powered bike with a smoke stack right in front of your plain of view. Pure genius, couldn't think of a safer bike.
Awesome steamer bike build
Really great work.. wow 👏👏👏
Just brilliant, credit to you
Beautiful!
In a mad world you have to be mad! I love this!
