I love my watch making lathes! The best setup was like having a complete machine shop in a suitcase. In fact I drove the other members of my rockabilly band King Memphis crazy machining things on your with the band! Voltage inverter in the van powered my sewing machine motors.
Hi, I am a 77 year old Agricultural Engineer. During my childhood and early career a number of these engines were employed to pump coal gas for lighting. These were about 6" or so in height. There was one used in a cowshed to drive a vacuum pump. This one was some 4ft tall and ran very well. Electricity only came to the area of Gloucestershire I grew up in around 1955, farms and outlying houses still relied on generators for electrical supply. There were many different engines and sizes of plant still in use into my late teens. Thank you for producing this marvel of engineering. Andy
Every now and then, Google's random offerings bring up an absolute gem. What a fascinating build process, beautifully put together and narrated. Many thanks for sharing this with us!
My recommended is clearly just UA-cam throwing shi at the wall and seeing what sticks. Maybe 1 out of 100 I actually watch or even pay attention. Compared to other platforms like tiktok's FYP, UA-cam's algorithm is absolute garbage.
What kind of things to you make? I used to work for an engineering company in Sheffield and they had me using a traditional milling machine to make drill heads. I was only 17 at the time and quickly got bored of the repetitious nature of it and left to continue my studies. Now I'm older I have a renewed interest in going back into engineering, I just want to be sure it will be a stimulating profession. Any thoughts/advice?
@@silverbullet2008bb I wish I could help but I did say “seen it all”, not “done it all”. I was just a production machinist. I started in the 70’s, a high school grad on Davenport automatic screw machines. Very fast and intricate machines that were purely mechanical. No hydraulics or pneumatics involved. The last half of my career in a different plant started analog and morphed into total CNC by the time I retired. That was a challenge for an old schooler who took pride in grinding and setting all your own tooling. Those skills were suddenly not needed. By “seen it all” (an exaggeration by the way. I wish I had) I loved discovering the super talented custom machinists in super custom machine-shops. It seems like they perform magic.
@@ridermak4111 Your experience sounds familiar. Our company didn't have CNC machines as they were quite new back then and we only had hand operated milling machines. The company owner was a masterful machinist, some of the things he made from a block of metal blew my mind. I've done boring, i.e. the boring of cylinders using a boring machine, and yes, it was very boring! I worked for GKN at one point making cylinders for Volvo engines but that was almost all automated. In the end they closed our foundry to move it to China! Apparently the Chinese would do a 12 hour shift for £3 whereas they were paying us £14 an hour.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Clickspring really needs to watch his back! You are a seriously good machinist and it’s obvious you put a huge amount of effort into the videos as well.
Hahaha, i'm so glad i'm not the only one that thought how much this clip resembled Clickspring's videos :) Still a bit of way to go, but yes, the path looks clear. Sure Chris is happy that others share such passions.
Am a recently retired mechanical engineer with only the most basic machining skills (theoretically can operate a Bridgeport and a lathe, but everything had to be pretty basic and crude), so I have always had a profound respect for skilled machinists. Have been fascinated by Stirling Engines since I took Thermodynamics in college, and have assembled a couple from kits (a little beam engine and one that operates on top of a coffee cup). Have only designed two investment-cast parts in my career but have always loved that process as well. To see all of this in one video, with this level of precision and miniaturization, and the tremendous knowledge of machining and materials required - as well as the forethought and patience!...I just loved watching this! Please continue with this type of video!
Beautiful work. My grandfather, on my dad's side, was a self taught machines and Gun Smith. He made two sterling engines, of which my youngest sister got one and my cousin on mom's side. The two lathes he built as well as the one commercial lathe he rebuilt. For a man that had to drop out of school to work in the coal mines after his dad died in a mining accident, he made a point of reading every engineering book and other texts to the point where he had an equivalent of two engineering degrees. He was my hero and life model for me. I miss him tremendously.
Wonderful work! I have taught Thermodynamics at the college level for 30 years and would have loved to have shown this video in class. We had a small, working Stirling engine model but nothing on this miniature scale. Thanks for this effort.
This is so incredibly peaceful to watch. It is a concert for the eyes to witness such mastery at work. I found myself comparing it to trimming clay, but so perfect and beautiful.
man it's crazy that you got it to run so smoothly! Having built two stirling engines myself, I know how sensitive they are to friction, especially the small ones. Amazing video
Yes, I was truly amazed by the workmanship as larger Stirling Engines, despite being awesome, are easier to get running as they can power through minor hiccups they encounter.
@@SenkJu ok literally kid! you don´t know much... there are and were many engines with only one piston, as an dirdbike, moped, outboard engine and and many more like on the old fishing boats that had a sound like "pop pop pop pop" because you were able to hear every stroke. Do your self and every one a favor and use your brain!
I've seen many of these engines made over the years. But never in my life did I expect to see this made on such an absolute miniscule scale. I am gobsmacked. Not just at the fact that it actually runs. But at the fine detail of each component. Well done sir. VERY well done indeed.
Unbelievable! Just awesome! I've been a machinist for 25 years and this is the most impressive thing I've ever seen. So glad I stumbled upon your page.
The fact that this extraordinary and minute machine has been built and it functions as it should is remarkable. I am even MORE impressed by the quality of the final video production. To achieve the visual clarity of the recording, it is remarkable. His use of microphotography to show his work is exquisite. I know that shooting these operations is exceedingly trying and difficult. Chronova Engineering has produced a remarkable document. Thank you.
It is truly a joy to watch an artist at work. Seeing how you embrace modern techniques of using 3D printed elements to generate the mold for a cssting and then how your machinist skills cleaned up and brought forth the finished flywheel was my favorite part of the video. Seeing red painted cast spokes with machined surfaces always stoke my love of the steam era. (Equally green on brass) Such exquisite form that is also functional shows a true master craftsman.
As many will already have stated, I am in awe of your engineering skills and the equipment you artfully utilised. My skill set is nowhere at your level, as I only make microlight aircraft for my personal use but to see this video is motivating to create the best I can do even more. Many thanks.
I want to thank you for sharing such an art. Designing, machining, filming, and editing are absolutely not easy tasks. Thanks for your time and effort.
I'm a woodworker, but not a machinist in any fashion. I still found the video incredibly satisfying to watch. The way you explained each of the steps had just enough detail to where I feel those with a similar background could learn, but those on the outside could still be entertained. Thank you!
The parts being crafted as well as the tools used, do not seem out of the ordinary, until your finger is in the shot. That really helps realize the miniature size of the engine you are making. When I was in the US Navy as a sonartech I was sent to school to qualify as a 2M technician. That is mini/micro-mini repair of electronic parts. Working with a microscope to repair inside an integrated circuit chip…it reminded me of it with this video. When looking at a part, it seems tiny but, under a microscope a pencil lead would look like a redwood tree. Great and awesome work 🫡
The best machining and building video I’ve yet seen. Calm voice, clear explanations, spectacular camera work. Enjoyed this immensely and am considering Brilliant. If they can teach this level of work then it’s back to school.
Excellent, Hot air engines are more difficult to make [well to get to run] than a steam engine [which is much more forgiving] as you will know, of which I've built both, but this small size is on another level altogether it's so small well done, love it.
You are absolutely right. Both engines make for great projects and although hot air engines are certainly more finicky, there's something particularly satisfying about them! Thanks for watching.
Would love to see a video explaining your design process for projects like this! With so many clearances between tiny moving parts do you use CAD design as a starting point - and do you prototype any components/subassemblies before proceeding to the final build?
Hi Sam, our design process varies a lot depending on the project. I'll be honest, this one I designed as rough technical drawing on paper and then built, making changes along the way, sometimes making parts multiple times. The engine you see in this video is actually V2, once I had it all figured out.
That was absolutely fantastic sir. I watch thousands of videos of restorations and building engineering projects. This has been one of if not the best I have ever seen. You are extremely skillful. Thank you. Take care and stay safe. Tom.
Absolutely fabulous little piece of machinery. Stirling engines are extremely versatile, and actually in use all over. Submarines equipped with air independent propulsion (not counting nuclear submarines) are one of the cooler places you'll find stirling engines, and they're exceedingly large on the submarines, since they have to generate a good amount of power to turn the screw. They're very quiet when they run, and extremely good at converting heat into kinetic energy.
I usually skip to the finished resoult, not on this video. Everything in this video is rich or fancy, the materials, the machines, the product, the details, the perfection, the presition, the music, even the voice.
I am not a machinist, although my late Father was a Fitter and he did bring me up to appreciate fine workmanship when you see it, and my goodness have I just witnessed perfection. Thank you so much! Yours truly, ross
I'm loving your channel and the work you do ! Both superb! I particularly enjoy seeing how you use your watchmakers lathe and the setup for each operation. I'm learning a lot from that element alone! 👍
I'm truly humbled by your craftsmanship. Particularly on tiny machines. I tend to break any drill bit smaller than a few milimeters. I'm pretty heavy handed.
I've just found your channel by chance and feel a binge watch coming on. What a brilliant project. So expertly done and beautifully filmed. As a hobby machinist I really appreciate your machining and hand tool skills. Kinda like Clickspring, with This Old Tony's manicurist! Loved it and have already subscribed.
The mental and physical machinery of the people who made this video is somehow even more amazing than the tools used to make the engine and the incredible engine itself. The design, the knowledge of materials, and the delicate, confident handling of tiny objects is mind-boggling to consider.
More appreciated than I can share - many thanks. From the pure skill of the physical creation, to the patient explanations of the what and why of what you are doing, to the final realization of the beginning goal. Well done! Scott
An absolute work of art, not only does it work perfectly but it truly is beautiful as well. Great work and a pleasure to watch. Thank you so much for sharing. Magnus
May I guess that You didn't built up a pile of false tries hiding in the trash box. It's just fantastic to watch and admire the table size logistics developing before our eyes. That it works at first try almost insults the amount of time, You've invested. Thank You for sharing!
Forgive the overused description, but I found this incredibly satisfying to watch. It was quite meditative to watch your machining. I know that, when doing fine-scale and/or repetitive work, it can become quite meditative to do. And I'm sure you experienced that when you were working on this. Well done!
As a toolmakers apprentice I'm finding it fascinating all the specialized machinery you are using as a watchmaker. Things that I imagine would take multiple setups, going back and forth between the lathe and the mill, you do all in one setup on your watchmakers lathe.
You think it could be a good investment for the shop you work at? Just a small, highly precise jack of all trades. I think that depending on the size of products you deliver it could definitely be interesting to look at as a support machine. Definitely keep the apprentices and the brutes away from it 😂
@zoutewand no, we have an entire Swiss screw machine department for stuff like that. It's all computer controlled nowadays. Our machines could crank out 500 parts before a skilled machinist could make one on a manual machine.
Twenty five years in tool&die, always the setup, quality control guy. Watching your attention to detail brings back happy memories as prototype maker. Amassing work, hats off. 😊😊😊😊.😺🐦🤓
Whenever I watch a video like this I wish I would have taken machining.I can't speak for other novices but you guys are genius on an entirely different level.And the actual machining is just one part of your wizardry.Thank you for showing us just one part of your world.
As a resident of Derby and the surrounding areas I have always had an interest in this line as a user, trainspotter and “student” of the industrial revolution I have found this series extremely interesting and well made. I am sorry it has come to an end. Thank you very much. 🙂
Juste une petite phrase MAGNIFIQUE du bonheur pour les yeux et les connaisseurs. Bravo à vous quelle plaisir de vous voir faire cette magnifique pièce d arts

The camera makes it look big, but once you have something to compare the sizes your mind is blown by the smallness. Amazing job!
Amazing work.
It's always so amazing how "rough" even detailed milling is when you zoom in close enough!
send it out for chrome plating, You'll gain 0.0003 inches on all surfaces so take that into your tolerances. But you'll get that mirror smooth finish.
Amazingly brilliant! I hope that you are employed by the ESA! 😊💛👍

As a resident of Derby and the surrounding areas I have always had an interest in this line as a user, trainspotter and “student” of the industrial revolution I have found this series extremely interesting and well made. I am sorry it has come to an end. Thank you very much. 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous. The precise and delicate craftsmanship blows my mind.

Great work and a great video. It is very interesting to see a miniature machine in production.
You have a brilliant mechanically inclined mind. I wish I had a fraction of your intellect. Thank you for these videos.
