This is really neat. I have a big background with a soldering irons, de-soldering guns and a million PCB jobs that I have done over the years. I never thought before that solder would be strong enough for mechanical apparatuses as you present here. I am dead wrong.
I think that this project isn't practise, but idea is briliant. We can see lot of professional work and clever ideas in your films. I will learn everythink about your materials for me. Great job man!!
This is a exact replica of oscillating cylinder steam engine from popular science magazine in the 50s. I built this when I was 15. We had own workshop at home then. Regards.
If I could suggest one improvement, to avoid the the whole set from bumping at higher speeds, maybe you could change the desing of the excentric axis and use a balanced one. I mean a extra piece of metal, attached to the excentric axis in the oposite side where the axis connects to the piston rod. Have you measured the RPM you get? And the pressure you used? PSI ? Great project. Congratulations.
Your solder isnt flowing like brass solder should. Either you have it too cold, or you are using a solder not meant for brass. It is supposed to get very thin and flow in all gaps/joints by itself.
Very nice machine. This video remembered me to my first osciillating steam machine, built near 40 years ago , as i had not enough work on the job. Probably the littelist steam machine from Sulzer ever (i was electrician at Sulzer ).. Bore 4mm. stroke 12mm , the flywhell was a washer ....... . Congratulation and thanks for the video.
This may be a silly question, but I can't see it answered anywhere in the comments. Is the metal-joining substance he's using actually just solder, or a different compound?
@@vitorswaid maybe less soldering flux would help but I still think its difficult. Just a few days ago I used silver solder to attach copper blades to a brass shaft when I was making a propeller. I managed to get solder all over the blades since the curvature caused it to flow. Eventually I cleaned up a lot of it but not all.
@@manickn6819 oh, sorry... I would like to mean "adding a litle bit of extra soldering flux" because of the superficial tension effect it causes. Your idea on silver soldering is great.
@@vitorswaid I think the challenge is getting the right amount of heat when a part is that large. Too much and solder runs where you do not want it. Too little and the solder looks clumpy. The problem I ran into with the solver solder is melting the brass. I did not realise a MAP gas torch would melt brass. The copper blades were fine but the brass melted slightly. It was a learning curve. I did better on the other side of the propeller. The video link is below. Soldering setup starts around 5:40 in. ua-cam.com/video/Ados3l5Ud3Q/v-deo.html
The bearing acts as a flywheel. You want something heavy for that and he probably used the bearing because he had one in his workshop which wasn't used for something else. The flywheel is necessary as without it the engine would not work. The momentum of the flywheel drives the engine in the phases of the cycle, when there is no power from the incoming gas, because that gas path is closed at that moment. Without the momentum of the flywheel the piston would just extend to its maximum position and the machine would stop in this position.
What you have constructed here is a motorization device, not an engine by itself. The source of pressure, in this case air, is supplied by a non-integrated mechanism
Steam engine, diesel engine, electric engine, hydraulic engine, no one of them have source of energy directly atached to it, that is the point that you transform energi to other form and then use it for running engine
Nice work Man, do tou have some draw for this engine ? I'm fron Brazil and I have to produce an egine like this, I'm an engineering student. Thank u for share your work.
Funnel will be using wind directly, but if it looks funny like a trumpet, then mechanically connect it to gear, then have a mini fan to turn and pump this to keep spinning. Funnel definitely will look odd car.
Another is: using this tube right, in front is a funnel < so when car moves, this spins, as this spins, the spin is used to charge battery for the electric car, so car always have power.
Brass looks great and slides well but only one bearing surface should be brass. If the cylinder is brass make the piston from steel. Usually this would be the other way around so when the piston wears it can be easily replaced and the bore would be ok. Very simple mechanism for venting the air on the return stroke. I had to watch the vid twice too figure out how it worked.
@@tonywright8294 Hi Tony, sorry not convinced. Perhaps the model engine world is different. :) I think any design should allow for one part to wear before the other. Usually the easiest one to replace. Maybe a low loads it make little difference with brass. I was watching a UA-camr making a steel on steel bearing recently. He said “it only has to work for a few minutes”. And “I’ve put oil on it” It only worked for 30 seconds before it welded itself together. Seems like brass isn’t like that.
Another way to make engine, just this small(this one itself) but electrical movement by battery(this one will be moved to provide charge to battery), maybe use a fan itself to run from the battery, always constantly having power, inside of fan i imagine have alot of wire, i think we can increase the power using other materials(silver and gold) means fan as engine, do you believe? Tamiya Engine is like a Fan. I think something. Regard this as my theory, but i think i am right on this.
The thing is, when you make something in real, life, like a steam vehicle, you cant make the whole engine from full metal. The stand supposed to made from wood, even the crankshaft could wooden made ,if you strap on the tips with steel belts. Reducing Weight is very important for a car ,boat or airplane. Besler was inefficent due to Lack of Coal boiler with frontal air intake vent. Instead they used oil boiler, which definetely not for this purpose. It can fly until the pressure drop,but it need minutes for the pressure to build up again. And probably with a simple pair of oscillator steam engine would much lighter than the coumpound engine.
may I politely suggest when you get a chance remake the piston head out of stainless or cast iron or aluminum (or steel but it will rust) as running two of the same materials together is not that good for longevity and low friction. but great work I enjoy your channel.
Try telling Mamod they have used brass on brass for years , so do I .just use brass tube for the cylinder and brass rod for the pistons because they are made from different alloys of brass . Aluminum will corrode , cast iron rusts, and depending on the grade of rustless steel it’s sod to turn .
@@tonywright8294 sorry was just trying to make a over 45 years of experance profesional suggestion including full size marine steam engines , but my suggestions are correct. Have a nice day
Well done! Those are some pretty massive bearings!
This is peak improvisation and craftsmanship 👌

Great Project, It Is nice it is working with one piston.
Always a treat when you post a new vid. Keep it up, man.
A great project/dobre robota! I really want to make one of these myself when I get my workshop set up. Thanks for showing each step so clearly!
I made a similar but simpler one (smaller, fewer components and ran way faster) in machining class back in college almost 30 years ago. Still works! 😎
Hi, im in the middle of doing a school project regarding this type of engine, would you mind sharing the design you made?
Pretty amazing job, man. Beautiful little motor! 😃
Amazing project mate 👍

Spectacular project bro 🤩👍💪
Where does the steam go out??
Would it still vibrate at higher speeds if you added a proper counterweight to the crank?
This may be a silly question, but I can't see it answered anywhere in the comments. Is the metal-joining substance he's using actually just solder, or a different compound?
It’s strawberry jam ! What did you think it was ?
Thanks for showing how and sharing that, it is too much for me!
Awesome idea. I just started a build of a ST oscillating engine on my channel.
Nice build. Getting solder to look good is always difficult.
Maybe using a small quantity of soldering flux could help to get a shiner and bright effect :-)

Hi there M.N Projects,that oscillating engine,was a nifty piece of work,Excellent stuff,thank you for your videos & great work😍😍😍
What minimum pressure should the engine work?
Excellent from start to finish. Where do I find the link to the plans please? Thank you.
2:54 Is that a countersink bit or were you able to use a standard twist drill for that?
Nice..that that is copper?
Nice build 👍
@M.N. Projects, Why do you need the bearing? Why not just an output shaft?
The bearing acts as a flywheel. You want something heavy for that and he probably used the bearing because he had one in his workshop which wasn't used for something else.
The flywheel is necessary as without it the engine would not work. The momentum of the flywheel drives the engine in the phases of the cycle, when there is no power from the incoming gas, because that gas path is closed at that moment. Without the momentum of the flywheel the piston would just extend to its maximum position and the machine would stop in this position.
Wow 🤯 super clean! Maybe you could make a video on it running with actual steam?
The Plans????
Wow this is by pumping air, if the wind turbine, speedy enough to spin into pushing air inside then like dual Energy-Making?
Were exactly are the plans?
Is that the solder for electronics that you are using?
Good job👍
You know how to make the mechanism, but can you make the boiler?
Where are the plans?
Excellent job my friend!
Dude you're amazing!
5:02 what the name of this operation?
Did you use lead solder or silver solder?
What you have constructed here is a motorization device, not an engine by itself. The source of pressure, in this case air, is supplied by a non-integrated mechanism
Steam engine, diesel engine, electric engine, hydraulic engine, no one of them have source of energy directly atached to it, that is the point that you transform energi to other form and then use it for running engine
Can I buy one?
Looks like a fun and easy project to try but I will use a plexiglass base.
Man your workshop is baawwwws!
so what is the use of it its just running its own?
anyhow nice made
It's a nice fun project, and it feels great when you run it and it works! it doesn't nessisarily have to be used in anything.
Love this video! If I could have one thing, I wish the soldered joints looked cleaner. More flux?
Yes, preflux before assembly and it prevents oxidation. Based on my years of soldering brass and copper parts as an engineering apprentice.
Nice work Man, do tou have some draw for this engine ? I'm fron Brazil and I have to produce an egine like this, I'm an engineering student. Thank u for share your work.
Why was your branding on the bottom, blocked by the felt pads?
Funnel will be using wind directly, but if it looks funny like a trumpet, then mechanically connect it to gear, then have a mini fan to turn and pump this to keep spinning. Funnel definitely will look odd car.
Nice invention
is that inlet hole, where you connected compressor, is an offset hole?
Very good idea bro 👍👍👍👍
Bardzo fajnie się pana ogląda😀
my engine isnt working
endless . very nice bro . good job. i pruchase this? . from india
Cool video!!! Great idea!!!
Get some brush on solder acid flux and your solder joints will improve in looks and strength.
Another is: using this tube right, in front is a funnel < so when car moves, this spins, as this spins, the spin is used to charge battery for the electric car, so car always have power.
Cadê os os planos?
Can I have the Arbeitsplanung !?
Awesome bro

so good :D
So nice and brilliant idea

Interesting. No oil for inside the cylinder?
(Beautiful work! Inspiring...)
Good explain ☝️👌👍
Hi, amazing job. Im trying to make one but it dont work do u have tips for me?
Wish there was a way to build these without expensive machines
Sir what type of soldier you used. Explane Ple. Thanks
Well done 👍👍👍
Please tell me that which "lathe" is used in this video (brand & model), it means a lot to me, thanks a lot your work is awesome.

There you go.
what did you use to weld the stuff together
its solder. not welding because the filler binds the material togeater almost like a glue instead of all the metal being fused into one peice
@@henrydando bro I asked this 2 years ago
What's the name of the programme do you use for the project?
Solid Edge 2D Drafting
really cool video, maybe reduce the volume of the machine tools a bit, little jarring.
Good job 💪👍
I take sales which amount plz tel

Brass on brass works just as well , well it has on thousands of Mamod engines and the few dozen engines I’ve built !
