it would be REALY BORING but i love steam engines and the sound this one makes!!!
Fantastic job. Seems you have a winner there!
Something to be truely proud of.
Been thinking of building one of these for a while now and your engine may have finally tipped me over the edge and inspired me to go and do it. So thanks. 5* all the way!
It’s a very nice engine; it was hypnotizing me
do you have any plans for this or eaven just some drawings so i can get the proportions right?
Great sound!!!
How long does i stay running before it stops?
what about building one ouyt of a lawn mower?
EXCELLENT engine!!!
Does this burn gas
Its burning alcohol…
I do have drawings for this engine available. Contact me for the details…
Thanks!
very nice, it’s runnin’ so smoothly
I appriciate the scale speed, but what sort of power could one get out of this? Can in power a generator for 12v?
An absolutely beautiful piece of model engineering. The nicest piece of it’s type that I have ever seen.
Thank you for sharing this.
do you think nitromethane would burn hotter? it burns rapidly and all but. yeah. i want to buy one and i have nitromethane in mass numbers. lol its mythal alchahol, synthetic oil and caster oil. it powers engines up to 30K on heat&compression combustion with a VERY high compression ratio and when i lit it, it lit off quite well. do you think it is the right properties to make one fast?
176 cc, that`s enormous !
very nice,
any idea if anyone has ever made a split cycle vacuum engine.
An engine where: the piston draws in a charge of hot gas through valve 1; the charge of gas is drawn through valve b to a gas reservoir at subatmospheric pressure; the air cools - the reservoir radiating the heat away; a second smaller piston and cylinder draws some cooled air from the reservoir and then compresses it back to atmospheric pressure and then releases it.
no fins on the cylinders just the reservoir.
Fantastic
looks like a tractor
I need a price on drawings and a price on fly wheels but don’t know how to comtact you.
Thats awesome! Thanks for sharing it!!
Hello, so you have water boiling cooling? It would actually run much faster if you redid the cooling to active circuit with pump, radiator with ventilator.
Fantastic!
Sounds like a big one.
Very nice work - 5*
reminds me of a sterlin engine for some reason?
