vaiojoe watch the video again the water isn't coming from the thread it spilled over from the piston side. if you have a bigger air gap above the water it won't over boil up into the piston, or have a smaller flame. you need to balance the flame to the boiler size, you wouldn't run this engine with a blowtorch.
Steam engines have incredible torque for the size compared to combustion as the simply build more steam pressure if it stalls.. The slower it goes due to load the more torque it outputs.
"I will increase the capacity of the boiler..." I will increase the capacity the piston..." "I will increase the capacity of the flywheel. .." "I will increase the capacity of the boiler..."
that would make for a realllllly cool little steampunk appliance, like a tatoo gun, or a small reciprocating saw, or a die grinder.... the possibilities!
What you are suggesting is called a "condenser". It's essentially a big cooling tank into which the engine exhausts. The steam condenses (hence the name) and turns into water that can be pumped back into the boiler. This way you lose very little water and can go a looooong time on a single filling ;)
with a truly gas-tight seal, a condenser and a small pump of sorts the water would not need to be refilled basically ever. the energy comes from the fuel, so it's not like it would break the laws of thermodynamics. the problem would actually be not creating a water hammer due to the extremely low pressure zone you'd be creating because of it
That's cool. Now if you were able to make a condenser and feed the water back into the boiler, you be able to run it so long as you can keep the fire going.
MY 6th - 8th grade shop teacher Mr. Bogert made a steam engine so small that 6 of them could fit on a dime. It was featured in "Ripley's Believe it or Not". He powered it with compressed air. Congrats, you do beautiful work.
That's a cute engine that does what it's supposed to do. If I made one I'd polish that brass to a mirror finish and set the little jewel in a curio cabinet for a conversation piece. Engrave my name and date on bottom so grand kids can say, "I can't believe grandpa actually made that pretty little thang !"
A very nice single cylinder oscillating engine. It is well made and a little honing of the valve gear and a gasket on the boiler thread would correct the little errors seen in this video. Congratulations.
Man you make the best machining videos. You’re not the best machinist on youtube (tubalcain), but your content is some of the most creative and your presentation is fun and engaging.
olsmokey oh of course. I have been a patron of his for loooooooong time now lol. I just watch all of his vids from there early :) email comes.. I'm there! .. that reminds me.. I need to look into if johnnyq90 has a patreon. He will be my last entry on my supported people's list :D
Do you think 'modern steam' has a future in residential/camp sized engines that use multi-fuels? The Stirling engines don't have much torque, but the modern materials available now make the neat little models more scale-able. It seems like commercially available steam engines have always been either huge or small models. The technology could be up graded for practical off grid use.
Serious request. turn the flywheel into an electrical generator. Drill 4 holes around its perimeter and glue in neodymium magnets, then make it a partial shroud with copper coils around it.
Look for Steam oil...it will add compression.. Add a radiator to Cool the water and recycle.. Then add a Solar lens.. use the Sun to heat the system.. Add a generator and away you go.. They say a Steam turbine at Full is the best for efficiency.. based on Fuel used..
yep.. if you seal it up with Glass on southern sides, this thing will even work in winter.. Using an alternate, you can Switch the water to Run inside the home for HEATING, bathing and soforth.. OR a settling tank, Insulated to hold Hot water over night..
Could you collect the exhaust, cool it (would it need to be cooled?) and then pipe it back into the cylinder for a longer run time? All ways love the videos :)
What you suggesting is something that every nuclear powerplant does. Because you do generate entropie (not usable energie) when converting heat energie into electricity. You have to transfer the entropie out of the system by cooling the exhaust gas down to a liquid. Then you can reheat it and re use it.
This would also increase its power because of the created low pressure zone by condensation. Bringing the water back to the same reservoir might not be possible since it's under pressure.
have you tried increasing surface area of the boiler for better thermal coupling with water? you can just throw in or solder a bunch of brass wire cuttings inside the boiler.
The bubble that popped up in your spirit burner near the end suggests you're overheating it with the new boiler being so low, watch out if your running it for more than a few minutes.
I bet if you soldered brass tube around the reservoir, and then wrapped the tube section in a firesafe insullation layer, the tubing would improve heat transfer into the reservoir by giving more contact area and forcing the hot air to remain in contact along the length without mixing cold air in. With more of the flame's heat captured I'd expect faster steam production which should make it stronger, though might not have a huge impact on top speed.
Very nice little engine and machining. Is the flame a little bit too close? How is it lubricated? I would imagine with the longer running time this could be an issue.
karlpc200 A 5V phone charger is often rated for around 1A. Charging through the computer would give only 500mA. Don’t know where you got 100mA from but that sounds possible. Anyway, these numbers give 5W, 2.5W and half a Watt. Surely this device is in that neighborhood?
To: Clayton game-hughes, A Stirling engine runs on WARM (not even HOT)-AIR!! Some are even solar powered!! Also, Stirling engine uses no water and operates at a MUCH lower RPM.. so, no, this is NOT another kind of Stirling engine as it also produces MUCH more power than a Stirling engine of anywhere NEAR the same size. The steam engine came first anyway.
You went through a whole heck of a lot more trouble than you needed to in order to expand the boiler. You could have just made the boiler to sit higher in the legs and cut new threads into the top of it instead of adapting the original top to the new bottom.
Ohh yes all the side full and half wheel rolled simultaneously and the half cut whell not letting the pressure maker to stand tall since pressure on it from hot stream poured continuously ! The larger the wheels and contain er and the design is with lighter matels will have them rolling faster 😂
:D sorry to bust that cool idea;) you can't supercharge two stroke engines (...) because they have ports. Once the piston is at BDC, intake and exhaust ports are open at the same time, and your supercharger(or pressurized crankcase charge) blows right through..
Twostrokes can be turbo/supercharged. As long as it has a expansion chamber, which most rc engines dont have. But twostrokes sure can be turbo/supercharged!
before you upgrade this engine there water spit all over the stage after you upgrade there no water coming out cos you have right level of water to making it less over boiling to making t running longer well done and i am enjoyed to watch you making while upgrade the water tank!
I wonder if you could power a small RC plane with this somehow? If not, I'm sure it would at least be enough to run a toy boat. Even 2.5 minutes of run time isn't that horrible for an RC toy, if you couldn't find enough room for your extended boiler, and no lithium batteries forcing you to cool your heels for half an hour of charging after each run; just fill it back up with water, fill up your little alcohol lamp (although I suppose it would probably work better with another flame source, such as one of those cooking torches chefs use to caramelize stuff, which would last a lot longer so probably not need to be refueled) and away you go.
I wonder how much torque that engine makes. Could it be used to turn a generator for recharging batteries? I’m sure a larger one could. Just an idea, but just think, powering your house with a steam engine run generator. Wouldn’t that be neat.
All that beautiful machine work and does not sweat fit the extension? Also, what would happen if you used a drop of lite weight oil in with the water? Liberation? Or slow it down? And my God man a Saw zawl! 210!! Your a machinest ! Good video man. Keep it up
Good job, you are wasting some pretty good energy though, assuming you haven't left enough space for the flame to grow properly and therefore avoiding the high part of the flame which is also the hottest one, anyway there is nothing as easy as that to solve. I love your channel, keep going dude.

JohnnyQ90 Is love me one for my desk but I see it always boils over. Is there a way to seal or stop that?
vaiojoe the boil is too harsh, just lower the wick for a smaller flame. You will still boil the water just not such a hard boil
Dave Oh My main concern was at the threads. The relief valve doesn’t seem to give off much.
vaiojoe watch the video again the water isn't coming from the thread it spilled over from the piston side. if you have a bigger air gap above the water it won't over boil up into the piston, or have a smaller flame. you need to balance the flame to the boiler size, you wouldn't run this engine with a blowtorch.
Dave Oh Either way awesome machine work. awesome novelty.

Not really a wobbler engine
m.ua-cam.com/video/2UTeH9J2b80/v-deo.html
well, you have to take material strength in to account. steam can and will rupture any weak spots. you can't have unlimited psi...
You do have a fair point but runaway steam engines can turn into very powerful bombs under the right conditions
@@zakcritch8706 thats kind of a risk with any engine if you have the slightest clue on how a steam engine works you can pretty much avoid that
"I will increase the capacity of the boiler..."
I will increase the capacity the piston..."
"I will increase the capacity of the flywheel. .."
"I will increase the capacity of the boiler..."
“I will increase the capacity of the capacity of the boiler”
“I will increase the capacity of the engine”
"i will increase the capacity of the ham sandwich"
"I will"
I will increase the capacity of my nuts
It was puttering and I was like "that's cute" and then it got going and I was like -- woah
The little engine that could
that would make for a realllllly cool little steampunk appliance, like a tatoo gun, or a small reciprocating saw, or a die grinder.... the possibilities!
I think you should try making a closed loop steam engine so you don't use up the water. That could be a cool next project :)
*Nasa wants to know your location*
It would probably need active cooling
What you are suggesting is called a "condenser". It's essentially a big cooling tank into which the engine exhausts. The steam condenses (hence the name) and turns into water that can be pumped back into the boiler.
This way you lose very little water and can go a looooong time on a single filling ;)
Such a thing exists. Unfortunately, since nothing is 100% efficient, water being heated, used, and cooled repeatedly would not work forever.
with a truly gas-tight seal, a condenser and a small pump of sorts the water would not need to be refilled basically ever. the energy comes from the fuel, so it's not like it would break the laws of thermodynamics. the problem would actually be not creating a water hammer due to the extremely low pressure zone you'd be creating because of it
I really think with modern improvements a steam engine could actually be practically utilized in a vehicle
That's cool. Now if you were able to make a condenser and feed the water back into the boiler, you be able to run it so long as you can keep the fire going.
MY 6th - 8th grade shop teacher Mr. Bogert made a steam engine so small that 6 of them could fit on a dime. It was featured in "Ripley's Believe it or Not". He powered it with compressed air. Congrats, you do beautiful work.
From now on, everytime I close my eyes at night, I will see those unsightly, unfinished solder blobs on the inside of this shiny new reservoir..
I don’t know why this makes me so happy, but it does.
That's a cute engine that does what it's supposed to do. If I made one I'd polish that brass to a mirror finish and set the little jewel in a curio cabinet for a conversation piece.

Not just showcasing, but suddenly adding new machining content. Very good! Much appreciated.
I really enjoyed watching the machining process a lot more than the engine running. Good job!

Beautiful work as always!

Somehow I doubt that you could make water boil during Canadian winter with nothing save a parabolic oven with a fresnel lens.
as long as yo keep the wind off you can let the SUN IN and biol water
I love this channel , as I love the whole "that works but i'm sure we can improve it" mindset :)
#LifeHack LOL
Could you collect the exhaust, cool it (would it need to be cooled?) and then pipe it back into the cylinder for a longer run time? All ways love the videos :)
yes! That's what they did/do on real steam engines. For example when going across america through desert like areas with no supplies.
They also did it on the London Underground to stop the stations from fogging up too much
What you suggesting is something that every nuclear powerplant does. Because you do generate entropie (not usable energie) when converting heat energie into electricity. You have to transfer the entropie out of the system by cooling the exhaust gas down to a liquid. Then you can reheat it and re use it.

fastchill Therefor he should have some kind of pump installed XD
I wonder what would happen if you attached fan blades to it. Would it make for a good fan?
Nice to see a man who knows how to use a lathe! Great job. How about a nice steam stack for the exhaust!
have you tried increasing surface area of the boiler for better thermal coupling with water? you can just throw in or solder a bunch of brass wire cuttings inside the boiler.
Amazing! You really keep outdoing yourself! You are a huge inspiration to me.
Yes, nice small oscillating steam engine.
Excellent high quality video production, a pleasure to watch.
The bubble that popped up in your spirit burner near the end suggests you're overheating it with the new boiler being so low, watch out if your running it for more than a few minutes.
That's a lot of power for such a tiny, simple engine
you could make a small box on top of the exhaust to trap the steam and somehow make the steam go back in the boiler so it could have infinite use?
Could you please make a belt driven phone charger using a steam engine somewhat like this? That would be awesome to see!
That milling was really satisfying
You should make this into a desk fan for cooling the room.
I bet if you soldered brass tube around the reservoir, and then wrapped the tube section in a firesafe insullation layer, the tubing would improve heat transfer into the reservoir by giving more contact area and forcing the hot air to remain in contact along the length without mixing cold air in. With more of the flame's heat captured I'd expect faster steam production which should make it stronger, though might not have a huge impact on top speed.
Hmmm.... Now make a tiny water pump that it can drive to keep adding water to the boiler to extend the run time. :D
Good JOB!!! You can produce your own engines.
This belongs in a "African Queen" model boat.
Nice
Very nice little engine and machining. Is the flame a little bit too close? How is it lubricated? I would imagine with the longer running time this could be an issue.
The flywheel runs true? Something is wrong, send it back.
Could you explain what you mean, because I have no clue how that is a problem, not to be rude or anything just interested.
Candle Flame Sarcasm my dude
I would love to see if you could incorporate a dynamo to it somehow to see if you could charge a phone with it or maybe a laptop lol
projectdn5 agreed
It won't
It'll definitely charge a phone, not sure about a laptop, maybe if the laptop is shutdown and not using any power.
I have a hard time believing it will charge a phone, you need atleast 100mA for that, and I don't really thing it will be able to deliver that.
karlpc200 A 5V phone charger is often rated for around 1A. Charging through the computer would give only 500mA. Don’t know where you got 100mA from but that sounds possible. Anyway, these numbers give 5W, 2.5W and half a Watt. Surely this device is in that neighborhood?
Loved the modifications to an already neat little steam engine. Thank you for sharing.
Nice craftsmanship.
Sounds better than most cars out there
beautifully constructed.
This is the engine we designed and manufactured that has been updated to the third generation. It will use metal alcohol lights.Jin
Damn I straight up forgot that I was subbed to this channel and how much I loved it till right now haha.....
I am so jealous of the tools you have access to. Hope you recycled the metal shavings. Nice video!
So if you put rice inside it makes poprice?
great music for the project :)
i think this is just another version of a sterling engine and great vids man keep up the great work and effort

The steam engine came first anyway.
Would be nice if you could put a generator on it and charge your phone whit it
@Adriel Ramos no there is no other option it must be done
I was thinking the same thing. I would buy one. I lose power a lot and would use it
I don't think it's powerful enough
@@jimbob7568 are you kidding? Phones use less than 10 watts
Replace the motor in a Prius with this. Electrical/steam power.
실력이 대한합니다!
짝~짝~!
잘 보았습니다!
감사합니다!
You're good!
Munch!
Thank you!
It would be greater if you had tried to condensed the same water steam to the container.....😉😉
You are perfectionist, lol. It was fine with 2.5 run if you ask me.
Hi there! Any idea what speeds that thing can achieve? If I had an optical tachometer...
You went through a whole heck of a lot more trouble than you needed to in order to expand the boiler.
You could have just made the boiler to sit higher in the legs and cut new threads into the top of it instead of adapting the original top to the new bottom.
I would've cut the thing and spot weld a larger brass tube on, but I guess that works as well.
Ohh yes all the side full and half wheel rolled simultaneously and the half cut whell not letting the pressure maker to stand tall since pressure on it from hot stream poured continuously ! The larger the wheels and contain er and the design is with lighter matels will have them rolling faster 😂
Make a tesla turbine turbo charger. You could attach it to your nitro engine.
Agreed
I already made this suggestion in the last video but I’m glad that there are people that would like to see it as much as I want!
:D sorry to bust that cool idea;)
you can't supercharge two stroke engines (...) because they have ports. Once the piston is at BDC, intake and exhaust ports are open at the same time, and your supercharger(or pressurized crankcase charge) blows right through..

DerKrawallkeks Sh!t. U are right ;D what a shame. Should’ve thought about that :(
Beautiful little engine better for the upgrade!!😎🐓🐓🇬🇧
Thank you for giving me millions for your idea.
I really love you videos. I wish I had a metal lathe and your knowledge. Greetings from Spain. 👍🏻
before you upgrade this engine there water spit all over the stage after you upgrade there no water coming out cos you have right level of water to making it less over boiling to making t running longer well done and i am enjoyed to watch you making while upgrade the water tank!
what runs out first? the fuel or the water? Hmmm...
It's hard for me to think about a less efficient engine... but it's so cool!
Fernando Romera steam engines are pretty efficient tho
Yeah it's just a model engine designed for simplicity and low cost. A thermomagnetic engine probably takes the award for least efficient engine.
The concept of a "least efficient engine" seems like a dead end waste of time. One can contrive any number of elaborate energy wasters.
I think it'd be pretty fucking hot!
Not if you use the hot water output to drink a tea ;) Cogeneration = no loss
Add a condenser/radiator and pump to it!
Wow congrats JonnyQ90 its a fast miniengine
wow so smart we learned about steam engines in class yesterday
That's pretty cool you were interested enough to watch more about it
How does it work, what is going on at the top with the cylinder ??
I wonder if you could power a small RC plane with this somehow? If not, I'm sure it would at least be enough to run a toy boat. Even 2.5 minutes of run time isn't that horrible for an RC toy, if you couldn't find enough room for your extended boiler, and no lithium batteries forcing you to cool your heels for half an hour of charging after each run; just fill it back up with water, fill up your little alcohol lamp (although I suppose it would probably work better with another flame source, such as one of those cooking torches chefs use to caramelize stuff, which would last a lot longer so probably not need to be refueled) and away you go.
This is so satisfying to watch - just like all your videos!!
I had a littlebit of an idea, what if the steam is collected, condinced then put back to the bottom?
it should be called the rain machine
This is so satisfying
Beautifully done!
Beautiful bit of kit
It would be cool to have it doing some work.
I wonder how much torque that engine makes. Could it be used to turn a generator for recharging batteries? I’m sure a larger one could. Just an idea, but just think, powering your house with a steam engine run generator. Wouldn’t that be neat.
You should sell stuff like this I think people would buy 'em, I know I would
All that beautiful machine work and does not sweat fit the extension? Also, what would happen if you used a drop of lite weight oil in with the water? Liberation? Or slow it down? And my God man a Saw zawl! 210!! Your a machinest ! Good video man. Keep it up
What a little beauty!
Masterfully done, awesome work mate.
Really great useful invention
You need a mini-governor too!😊😊😊
How the lubrication problem was solved? Any mechanical device requires some kind of lubrication or the seizure will occur.
Good job, you are wasting some pretty good energy though, assuming you haven't left enough space for the flame to grow properly and therefore avoiding the high part of the flame which is also the hottest one, anyway there is nothing as easy as that to solve.
I love your channel, keep going dude.
would love to get a speed reading on that flywheel
Simply beautiful
very very nice... hey you could put small motor with rubber band and charge a cell phone with it or small dc lights!!
this engine can action kind of dremel tool ? no?
like mini disk cutter or for sanding little part of metal ...
I wonder if it could generate enough electricity to charge a phone cause that would be pretty cool for camping and stuff
Make it closed loop to retain the water and hook it up with a tiny generator to charge your phone.
does this engine have an annual summer sale that will undoubtedly damage my financial security?
Well I saw your inline 3 engine and I thought... Could you do a V8 steam engine? :)
Already seeing the V8 coming :D
Nice work 😃😊
How much torque do you think that little thing makes?
