Hi, Gents,
I would like to present you what I did in the last time and to take part in the competition for the project of the month. I understand that my engine is not perfect and looks like you present, but it is really done as it is shown. And I assume this is the first engine made from the fittings.
Test run of the steam engine model assembled from the off-the-shelf fittings. Bore - 35 mm, Stroke - 30 mm. The test revealed that the machine works well, but jerking is observed when the turns are small. It is seen that the piston and valve leak the steam. However the main idea was to make a steam engine from the ordinary fittings which may be bought in the plumbing and electric shops. There are two details made by lather: Piston and valve, the rest are indeed bought in the shops, I only brazed, filed, bored and sawed.
