Hello:





I want to show my steam engine and the vehicle I have made ​​manually. I used an electric drill, saw, files, caliber and hard work.
Are designed for me.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to show my work.
 
Very interesting. You have done very well with the tools you have. You have proved once again that it is the craftsman and not the tools that build great things.

Thank you for posting,

Thanks ShopShoe.

For me it is an honor to show my work and appreciate many comments are the reward of my work.

As the vehicle weight increased to 21lb, I changed the cylinder and piston 0.47 "to 0.63", getting more power.

I have not tested on the ground, but if my house. This video is the last one I have.

Hi friends,

I want to show my design for the new boiler of my vehicle.
The largest copper tube that I have is 54 mm. in diameter. I have designed a double boiler for greater capacity.

I'm cutting the pieces.
Do not know how to stay. When the show is finished.

Greetings to all.
 
I like your double boiler design, but I must add that you should connect the two boilers at the very top of them. It will even out the pressure on both sides and keep an even water level.

Thanks for your advice.

Hello!
I spent time doing things. I have resumed work and show them progress.

Wanted to make sure everything was fine doing a pressure test with water. To pump the water to the boiler I made a non-return valve and a cylinder with a piston to inject the water (build another non-return valve and fabricate pump) to try to fill it with water and placed a pressure gauge, to push strongly reaches 12 Kg / cm2.

Can not imagine what it cost me to make welds with copper, because of course my lack of experience, but has helped me to begin to control things a bit.
Soldiers and the two bodies leak I proceeded to unite them and to have them pressure test to 10 Kg
So much was clear but had not thought beyond, after thinking many hours I got to work with the smoke box and subsequently the home.

I'm happy with the result and some first tests I've done I think will give good performance. Now think of the burner that had not yet clear to me either.

I decided to construct an alcohol burner for the boiler:

I have connected the boiler to the motor of two cylinders and this it is its aspect:

Nice acceleration. It moves like it was powered by an electric motor.
