I love you! The tools you are using I remember from my Grandfathers work room when I was a wee lad in the 60's (gasoline fueled blowtorch!). Antique tools for an aged rebuild. You are out there barefoot and loving your new find. Where you been all my life!
SpeedAire, one of the best pumps ever made. I have had many of them over the years. You can still get all of the rebuild parts for this pump. They were sold under the Champion name too.
In the process of cleaning the rust off, I would highly recommend the judicious use of oiled steel wool. The oil should be a detergent based oil. Transmission fluid will work nicely. You'll also want to replace the gaskets. You may be able to find a kit. If you can't find one, you can simply get a piece of thin cork gasket material and cut it to fit with a razor knife or exacto blade. If you take your rubber mallet and tap lightly around the edges while holding the gasket material in place, it should give you accurate marks to cut along. For the bolt holes I recommend using the rounded end of a ball peen hammer to tap lightly right over the hole through the cork. If you don't feel comfortable doing that you can use craft paper to make a pattern. I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
it might be best to move to making custom engines on my lathe with teflon pistons to get more efficiency. however solar powered boiler and steam engine also sound cool
I wouldn't suggest using glass/sand paper to sand the cylinder down, because doing that will likely remove some metal, which will increase compression or possibly even make the piston smack against the piston head every stroke. Perhaps just use a blade to scrape the old gasket off, and then get a new gasket for it?
The best price surface plate I found is from Grizzly and they do go on sale or offer coupons. I picked up mine on sale for ~$23 if I'm remembering right. Under a certain size the shipping is reasonable also. I'm suggesting use something like that or maybe like free or cheap granite tile or table top pieces you can find on Craigslist, Offerup, Letgo, Restore, Goodwill or maybe elsewhere. Here's the Grizzly Surface Plate link: www.grizzly.com/search?q=(surface+AND+plate)+OR+(surface+OR+plate) I've been restoring some items also and on the free or cost effective addition (if not plain practical) to rescue Made in the U.S.A. items also. I'm also planning to work on restoring an cheap Chinese mini-lathe my Dad left with specific instruction to improve if anyone wants to use for steel work. Really, like he thought, better to find an old Bridgeport, Cincinnati, South Bend or something Made in the U.S.A. He was talking about a Greenlee at one time, though that would be for production more-so. Anyhow, invested in the granite surface plate for a cost effective reference to true in the mini-lathe and other projects. More likely will invest in a lapping plate... though the surface plate will work for bluing to scrape and see how the surfaces that interface look when working down either way.
sanding down is fine as long as she doesnt sand like more than .005" away which would take quite some time i do the same thing for blown head gaskets on cars when they are warped. only once out of 600 engines ive done has the piston slapped the head and or valves the key is just sanding down till its smooth and level as little as possible
@@vancemacd6315 Sure, maybe even one and some silicone gasket material? I guess with the external combustion (Stirling) engine she's going to want to have a gasket that has the best thermal conductivity I think. I don't think it's the opposite would be better... not really think about critically at the moment. Thinking heat differential and thermal transfer would be best. Interesting see this comment since I yesterday sent some messages to some sellers on eBay with diamond lapping plates for stones and blades wondering what the surface tolerance is to see how flat since one manufactures is 0.0005" tolerance.

Glad to see a woman doing creative mechanical stuff like this, bored seeing men doing all these DIY videos all the time. Your mechanical knowledge is good and it’s great seeing someone working in an average outdoor environment like this instead of a shop
So great, good job. Your achievement is the practical basis for thermodynamics and mechanical engineering. At some point it would be nice to present the calculated anticipated performance and actual efficiency but that would simply turn everyone off. However, I do appreciate your effort, it's marvelous. What I enjoy is showing how thermal energy is so prevolent, just a little bit of heat can be converted to huge amounts of mechanical work. A good example is slowing a huge truck from 70 miles per hour to a complete stop and all that kinetic/mechanical energy just heated up the brake shoes, drums or discs a bit.
That filter-looking deal at 14:00 is probably a muffler for a large vacuum pump or roots-type compressor. I've seen them in dairy's on the vacuum pump exhaust for the milking machines to keep them from being so noisy.😉 I believe you can probably hone the cylinders and get everything clearenced and lubed up good on that compressor and it should spin fairly freely.. maybe still not freely enough to use as a Stirling engine, but if you design a couple of custom heads with slide valves, it would probably make a fairly good steam engine, although it would only be single action.😊
Bare feet 😉 Someone with more half finished projects than me. Clearly a smattering of useful knowledge. One of us. I would love to see you finished with this . (And buy some boots please 😜)
@@RinoaL Right, a kiln like storage area. I've got the old rabbit pen and in the rafters of the barn/greenhouse for where I'm working now. Neat videos! I'm just coming down from the electronics test equipment addiction and moving into small engines with riding lawn mower and lawn tractors for now since they're cost effective to work with. Neat seeing similar cost effective projects.
I plan to eventually build a high pressure and therefore higher performance Stirling engine from 2 identical twin HF compressors. If I cross-connect through regenerators each single cylinder on each compressor with it's mate on the other compressor and then couple the driveshafts via a chaindrive, I can get whatever phase angle between the pistons I want . One entire compressor could be the hot side and the other compressor would be the cold which would help improve efficiency by blocking heat flow from the hot to the cold side that wasn't performing work. Replacing the crankcase lube with graphite or other dry lube would allow the entire "hot" compressor to run at an elevated temperature. Sealing the crankcases of both compressors would allow a higher working pressure and a better working gas like helium or even hydrogen.
Hey, thanks a lot! That compressor should be awesome as a Stirling engine. Pretty sure the canister is a laboratory catalyst, most likely nickel, but you may be right on a platinum group metal or alloy. Either way, it should be ideal and last basically forever for what you're doing. Looks really fun.
probably going to be a bit, have a rocket engine thats higher priority than this Stirling engine. and a 1925 house restoration and stuff thats above that
Few days back I found similar single stage air compressor in scrap yard. I bought it immediately for making a piston expander for my air liquifier project. It's basically reversed baryton cycle cooler
@@RinoaL Ghehe why not? Perhaps not the typical kind, but you surely sound like one, with one exception.. I think i'm gonna like your channel and can't wait to see it run. On Steam! ;))
I just hope it wasnt ran with no oil in it, although older compressors are pretty bulletproof. My main unit has been in service sence the early 1940's and i just recently discovered how much muck and water was in the oil. A quick clean and it was good as new.
Ran into your Doppelganger yesterday, at the store. I assume it was you, from your videos, Ive watched. The girl Just laughed when I said sup ,super genius! lol!
OMG....as a fellow scrapper...all respect..working on similar project myself... BUT WILL YOU PLEASE WEAR SOME BOOTS... scrap yard, blow torch, dropping 30lbs pumps, table wobbles all over... Goinna be missing some Lil piggys
Why not make it into some sort of overly complicated lawn sprinkler? It clearly works for that, to some extent. If you put water in the cylinders, anyways.
Sanding the deck and head is not really needed, for something like this they don't need to be THAT flat due to the type of gasket they use. Just clean up any raised areas of any knicks that the screw driver may have made with a fine toothed file till they are level with the rest of the surface. Those gaskets look like old fiber gaskets, you can get sheets of it from any auto parts store (O'Reilly Auto Parts PN#: JV127) to cut out new ones, you should also be able to get gasket remover in a spray can to help break down the old ones. Spray them down, let it sit for a few min and they should easily scrape off. The new cut out gaskets can be sealed with black RTV, that type of gasket and RTV will seal just fine even on a 'rough' surface so they don't need to be perfectly smooth. The only part that may be tricky is the hot side head, depending on how hot you are getting it, something like exhaust gasket material may be needed (O'Reilly Auto Parts PN#: 5960). Since its pretty rusty looking you may need to pull the cylinders off and run a hone of some kind though them, and going against what is normal for combustion engines, you may want to try to get them as mirror finished as possible instead of leaving them cross hatched. The rings may not seal quite as well, but I would think the reduced friction would be more important than the best possible seal, but that really is just a guess. If it has two compression rings per pison, it may be worth even trying to remove one of them to help with friction.
l really want to know what happens if the compressor is connected with vertex tube, will it be powered by intensified sunlight with the attached focus lens and how to maintain the temperature differential for stirling?
Instead of using a ru ber mallet, you should try a small bar that can slide over your ratchet handle, making it longer to increase tourqe. Using anything to impact the ratchet will cause them to become sloppy.
I'd love to see something like this as an ICE instead of a Stirling or steam engine. Steam engines are so easy! Make it a two stroke! Very interesting project either way
First off, I love that old torch Rinoa; wish I could find one. Just curious, if you grind the fins off the hot side would that keep it from dissipating some of the heat? Would it be worth the effort? I'm the curious type; I would try it with the fins, take measurements and observe the performance, and then grind the fins off and see what the difference is. Just food for thought.
I have the one-cylinder version of that compressor, that my dad purchased new in 1970 from Montgomery Wards. Same color, same cylinder, and similar crankcase. Plus the crapy air filter that decade to dirt.
Are you so are you saying that the connecting rod journals are offset by 90° on the crank? I would really like to know and have a little more clarity thank you.
where components Interact, make use of 'self-lubrication'. use materials of different hardness, together. brass, alum, mild steel, hard steel, stainless steel, tempered steel. or glass on glass.
Good suggestion! Another way to go is using graphite powder in the cylinder if you wanted to be lazy, but your way is the better solution long-term. Though in the end, both solutions will depend on pressures, working fluids, and temperatures of course, as a disclaimer!
Did you ever get it running? I thought there might be an issue with the two cylinders being exactly the same size. You might want to try two single cylinder compressors of different sizes coupled together.
There is an air conditioner in the dumpster. I ended up here looking for inspiration to take the compressor home. Anyone else thinking and wondering why this is the hottest video they have seen in a really long time and is short of going full emoji?
commenters have a common pattern personal attacks lead to "Should have" all absurd. I watch videos to see others approaches if I were to legitimately have an idea to make better I would frame it in a constructive format. If i dislike a video or it creators methods i simply don't watch. I enjoyed this video's raw experimentation and being a plumber I want the torch she used. While not a soldering torch it looked great at hot wrench and I can think of other applications for sure. Also like idea of using compressor for sterling
@@Anvilshock This is true because a lower mass and lower viscosity will allow the gas to get from one side to another far faster and result in less internal drag so that the gas has more time to work on the piston and apply more pressure before the stroke completes. (~_^)-b Good thing you brought that up. I suppose, if one were not worried about viscosity and inertial mass they COULD use a gas with a lower specific heat because that would mean the gas would heat up and cool off more rapidly... However...although several gases have lower specific heats than He2 they also have higher masses, vapor pressures and viscosities, so I suppose the advantage still goes to Helium after looking at a lot of gas constant tables. I would say that in the end, Helium indeed would be the ideal working gas for a stirling engine. Thank you, Sir Anvilshock, for contributing this option which I had not thought of, and if I ever build a stirling engine [I have thought about it but have not yet tried to] I shall make sure to employ helium, but, t9o be fair and make sure that there are no secretly superior [or even comparable] gases, I might try running various other gases and recording their performance, just to make it more 'scientifical,' and present some results for general publication, so other people can use said research data while designing their own stirling engines.

Alittle bit of heat always helps when breaking something down just becareful aroind aluminum small blow torch is always handy
I commented that right before u got out the torch hahaha
Ever need any advice or tips let me know i have the same compressor that im goin to turnin into a gas engine
Looks like my dad's "Champion" brand pump that he used for his air compressor, built in 1973 or so, and still working.
champion, thats it
@@RinoaL That explains why it looks like it. I'm glad you saved it. I was a tiny tyke when dad built it. It's been a good one.
Could the canister possibly be a large spark arrestor?
Amazing
Hi! How will you heat the hot cylinder? Take care please use safety shoes. best regards.
I have the one-cylinder version of that compressor, that my dad purchased new in 1970 from Montgomery Wards. Same color, same cylinder, and similar crankcase. Plus the crapy air filter that decade to dirt.
Why does a 180 degree offset make it unfeasible for a stirling engine?
Very inspired. Want to build steam engine generator. You know for this year's Apocalypse.
there wont be one, and a steam engine wouldnt help you. wood gasifier would be better
Was this ever finished?
no, these things take time
when you mentioned the offset were you referring to piston tdc offset or the angles of the pistons on the crankshaft? btw thanks for making the vid
well i was using the same word for both when explaining, but overall i was talking about timing offset.
@@RinoaL So Top Dead Center Offset? Thanks 4 sharing.
Are you so are you saying that the connecting rod journals are offset by 90° on the crank? I would really like to know and have a little more clarity thank you.
where components Interact, make use of 'self-lubrication'. use materials of different hardness, together. brass, alum, mild steel, hard steel, stainless steel, tempered steel. or glass on glass.
Good suggestion! Another way to go is using graphite powder in the cylinder if you wanted to be lazy, but your way is the better solution long-term. Though in the end, both solutions will depend on pressures, working fluids, and temperatures of course, as a disclaimer!
When in doubt hit it!
Just discovered your channel and I am loving it! 👍new sub looking forward to catching up on your content!
i recommend the rocket engine series, my workshop build, and then the latest series which is me and my friend restoring a 1925 house.
Rinoa's Auspicious Travails will do👍thanks!
Sure would hate for the engine block to fall off that table. Hope you could get your feet away quickly enough! :)
I didn't know you had more channels!
Did you ever get it running? I thought there might be an issue with the two cylinders being exactly the same size. You might want to try two single cylinder compressors of different sizes coupled together.
most sterlings ive seen are same size cylinders, and i havent gotten around to this project yet
There is an air conditioner in the dumpster. I ended up here looking for inspiration to take the compressor home.
Anyone else thinking and wondering why this is the hottest video they have seen in a really long time and is short of going full emoji?
Kid? Ya done good!
when they asked me what KIND of wrench I needed, I said "it doesn't matter, I'm going to use it as a hammer"...
New sub! You freaking rock!!!
That part with steal wool looks like a Homemade muffler. The steal wool will silence it a bit still allowing enough air flow
Spoilers:
9:19 VICTORY
Not coming apart? FIRE!!!!
commenters have a common pattern personal attacks lead to "Should have" all absurd. I watch videos to see others approaches if I were to legitimately have an idea to make better I would frame it in a constructive format. If i dislike a video or it creators methods i simply don't watch. I enjoyed this video's raw experimentation and being a plumber I want the torch she used. While not a soldering torch it looked great at hot wrench and I can think of other applications for sure. Also like idea of using compressor for sterling
Thank you for this nice comment. Yes these torches are great, they also work for soldering if you have an antique torch iron
The way to increase the efficiency of a stirling engine is by increasing its working pressure. ~( 'w')/
Also, using helium instead of air.
@@Anvilshock This is true because a lower mass and lower viscosity will allow the gas to get from one side to another far faster and result in less internal drag so that the gas has more time to work on the piston and apply more pressure before the stroke completes. (~_^)-b
Good thing you brought that up.
I suppose, if one were not worried about viscosity and inertial mass they COULD use a gas with a lower specific heat because that would mean the gas would heat up and cool off more rapidly...
However...although several gases have lower specific heats than He2 they also have higher masses, vapor pressures and viscosities, so I suppose the advantage still goes to Helium after looking at a lot of gas constant tables.
I would say that in the end, Helium indeed would be the ideal working gas for a stirling engine.
Thank you, Sir Anvilshock, for contributing this option which I had not thought of, and if I ever build a stirling engine [I have thought about it but have not yet tried to] I shall make sure to employ helium, but, t9o be fair and make sure that there are no secretly superior [or even comparable] gases, I might try running various other gases and recording their performance, just to make it more 'scientifical,' and present some results for general publication, so other people can use said research data while designing their own stirling engines.
Your new channel? What is the name of the new channel?
