I got this small steam engine from StirlingKit and let me tell you I had a tonne of fun with this one, for the price, its totally worth it.

You should put one of those bicycle tire dynamo's on it, to make electricity so you can listen to the "wireless" when there is load shedding 😂

[@AJRestoration]

It might not have enough power, It will have to be a small dc motor. BUT I think it can be done haha, beat loadshedding with a small steam engine.

[@neonity4294]

Would love to see some accessories for those machines.
My neighbour had a miniature saw for his steam engine which was able to saw sticks.

[@AJRestoration]

The only accessory I could find online is a small dc power generator.

[@nineteenandfortyone]

That's a well made boiler and engine. I'd bet it would be easy to set up an old electric motor as a generator to do some lights. I see it has an empty groove on it's pulley for such things.

Your minture engine collection is growing 1 minture engine at a time A.J😊😊

[@AJRestoration]

That's the plan! Haha I will soon have them on a shelf for display on my videos.

[@jeffreyandreas7514]

Very cool! Seems to be a very well made kit!

[@AJRestoration]

I think so too! It is a great kit.

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota AJ

[@AJRestoration]

Hello there buddy!

[@wernervanniekerk7579]

Is the governor belt on the correct part of the flywheel.? Eyeing it up, it looks out of line where you placed it.

[@AJRestoration]

Yes this is the correct placement according to the manual. In real life its pretty straight.

[@patmiller7045]

Great video AJ! Are you going to be continuing with old machinery restorations?

[@AJRestoration]

That's the plan! I did take a little break from the regular content, I will be continuing this coming Monday with the regular restorations.

[@emil.honganmaki5461]

almost everyone makes the same mistake, they don't let the pressure build up and keep the faucet open.

[@duidelik007]

Very interesting spitting steam engine LOL. I could stare at that thing the whole day. Very nice. Did you remove the plate on the burners cause I saw it there when you first tested it and then after it ran nicely, I noticed that the plate was gone. Nice job. See you in the next one.

[@AJRestoration]

Yes that plate restricted the airflow alot, so I removed it.

[@ziplocBagofRobloxia]

@@AJRestoration good idea, when mine comes ill probably drill some holes into it so there is still a shield but will also have airflow

[@ziplocBagofRobloxia]

Actually I just bent it backwards a bit and seems to be good that way as well

[@toumicarlos4037]

👍👍👍

[@RastaHuis]

it would be fun to see one of those miniature engines be turned into a phone charger for when the power goes out.
