AllergyBuyersClub.com founder Mercia Tapping demonstrates how to allergy proof a home by reducing allergens caused by dust, cats and other pets, and reduce the use chemicals while cleaning with air purifiers, vacuum cleaners, and steam cleaners.

My second LEGO “steam” engine run on vacuum. It’s a model of an early 19th century beam engine after James Watts design, the vacuum cleaner is running at lowest power and has no problem coping with powering the engine. I hope to get a small eletric compressor to power it instead. And before anyone asks; I built this using my head, there are no blueprints or CADs!

This “steam” engine runs (backwards) on vacuum cleaner power. The motor generates approximately 700RPM. The design is based on Daniel B. Hartman’s Lego steam engines.

This is my second implementation of a “steam” engine in Lego that is powered by my trusty vacuum cleaner. The engine’s top speed is just over 900 RPM. More information, and building instructions can be found here: anthony.liekens.net
