Hi All, Being a newly minted engineer (as in Diploma not Engineer with a Degree), obviously I have a head full of knowledge and no real world experience. I am also learning quite a lot including self learning (I have a book and I am not afraid to use it!). The current book I have is about the...

Hi All, My Mind works in a very convoluted way sometimes. It occurred to me that Steel Flywheels would be perfect to simply stick Magnets to, and if I have a coil(s) of copper wire that these magnets rotate past then it would produce a voltage and current. This is basic Faraday's Law and the...

Hi Guys, My engineering School encourages us to get into our learning by getting our hands dirty so as such I am putting my extremely limited knowledge to work. I am designing a simple Wobbler Steam Engine - Bore 20mm, Stroke 40mm for a capacity of about 12cc. There is about 10mm of overhead...

Hi Guys, I am a new member. I found this site by accident looking for some plans for a steam engine for a Trade Engineering training course I started this year. After we have learned the basics of lathes and mills and done a couple of starter projects we are allowed to make a more complex...
