Your Favorite You tube Video

[Powder keg]

I've been bouncing around on You tube and have found some neat videos. I was wondering what your favorites were? Here is mine. I've started drawing one like this one up. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1OIvtlcfvs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1OIvtlcfvs[/ame] I think it will be my next engine.

Later, Wes

I also like these. I tried to build one similar, but it wouldn't run? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc2QoP0JQSA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc2QoP0JQSA[/ame]

I built one similar to this and it ran good. The cylinder broke though:O) When I get to redoing it, I'm going to build it like this.[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN7_AkegTZg&feature=related]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN7_AkegTZg&feature=related[/ame]

I've been trying to find plans for one of these or the one you said the cylinder broke. Did you get plans from somewhere or did you go off a picture?

I just went off a picture.

I cant imagine building something like that.Well at least right now.Way too many things on the stove right now for me to get done. That is waaay cool!

Some of the comments are hilarious

Some from the hula-hula video:

"dood, you should get a patent" ... "so this is how airplane engines work" ... "how'd you time the air cylinders to each other?"

When I first saw this topic, my own favorite YouTube video came to mind.
I decided not to post it because it is totally unrelated to the hobby.
But then again it isn't....

Maching is the act of getting accurate results from a sharp mind to skilled hands.
This young man is doing exactly that!

It may not be your type of thing, but please watch it to the 1:40 mark in the time.
THAT is splitting hairs!

Well this isn't from You tube...but if you haven't visited the site before, try www.jaylenosgarage.com. The late night tv host is quite a collector of all things mechanical. There are so great videos of Stanley Steamer cars and a recently restored full size steam engine. It's amazing what an unlimited budget can do!!

Given the thread of a few days ago concerning steam boilers and safety...one of the videos shows him blowing down the boiler after having the car out on the road. Equally amazing how much steam there was and how long it too to blow down.

Anyway....lots there to see

Here is an adorable little free piston Stirling that can run on top of a cup of coffee:

I thought it was really cool. It's a little different that the run of the mill LTD Stirlings. Also, free pistion designs are getting a lot of attention for commercial solar power generation from companies like Sunpower, so I"ve been curious about them.

I also found a set of pictures from a guy that built the same JAXA kit from Japan:

There's a guy on eBay selling these kits for $65. Can't decide whether to buy a kit or build from scratch.

Best,

BW

PS Looks like a good "all lathe" project from those gallery photos.
