Running the Steam Engine at Higher Pressure with New Pressure Relief Valve

What did you use for the sight glass?

that is about 3800 rpm max.

nice boiler! you should consider using an economizer to preheat your feedwater.

be cool to have a whistle on there like a old train ---lol

what solder and flux do you use?

what is the name / model number of that pump for the intake water i would like to buy one for my diy cooling system

you are a rock star

you should make it even better and see how fast it can go

Graet channel keep up the good work!

great video thank you for posting this

very nice do you put oil in the water or how is it lubricated?

thats awesome man !
I wish you a great life with such hobbies , and no porn and drugs ...
feed the inventer inside you ....
and thank your father a lot for helping you ....
good fathers are few ...

the sound ... music to my ears

You came real close to flashing that boiler. If you allow the flue tubes to get uncovered it will flash. That's another name for a boiler explosion.

draw a happy little engine

Now that you have an actual boiler your steam engine's flaws bother me. Sure, it's pretty amazing since it came from basically scrap, but I feel like improvements could be made. Perhaps a new model altogether?

4 bar is a lot for that gauge, but still impressive, good job one the engine/boiler.

add i wistle to it, like a train

ok this is pretty cool!

What did you use for the boiler? Is that made to be a boiler or did you repurpose something?

I would love to see you put some wheels on your steam engine. Awesome job😊, really enjoyed yours.

Hello I've been following your video.can you make a video that steam engine connected to induction motor and show us how much ac or dc it generates.thank you for your great idea.

What i like in your steam engine is simple and understandable.and i think its efficient too.please make a video with ac or dc generator.thanks

too much heat will keep the pressure high

Quick question on the boiler! What kind of fittings did you use for the water gauge? I can't seem to figure out how you connected a plastic tube to metal fittings so well.

Gret spirit of Steampunk! Make a running bike...?

I like it overkill

That pressure relief valve is meant for compressed air and wasn't designed with blowdown in mind. Being a safety device it's not meant to be used quite so liberally at least if you expect it to last any amount of time. Modern steam valves have larger orifices and a set of rings that can help direct pressure and help push the seat closed after the desired blowdown.

I have a question can use a high pressure water to run the piston in a machine like a water propelled rocket?

Instead of propane, you can use a sawdust stove to boil water, but use fine sawdust in the can for a long-lasting burn. Connect an alternator with a 12v battery and inverter to your steam engine and you'll get free electricity.

that "pressure relief valve" seems to be more of an emergency relief valve, why not make it both, have the relief valve for normal use and this one incase the relief gets stuck (thats what i would do)


(and yes, i know this video is almost five years old now)

Dude, I like your style!

I want to make a steam engine to run a pick up truck
I only ever find animations illustrate ing basic principles and pictures of antiques
Please
Can you tell me where you found the information needed to make this?????

Thanks for the next follow up video from the last one and please watch one of my videos

Hey dude, I know I'm late and all, but just in case anybody sees this and doesn't know: if that woolly insulation you're using is kaowool and not fiberglass, never use it without it being either covered or you wearing a respirator. It'll give you cancer.

Mean pushbike engine🤙

Exelente!! Eu vejo teus videos hà alguns anos, meu amigo!!! Eu gostaria de convidar você para dar uma passadinha no meu canal!😊😊😊Talvez você goste, será um prazer, grande abraço irmão!!!

Fun toy but many are interested in real work so yes go for the generator. When I camp there is fuel everywhere so this would be a great companion to bring along to charge everything up. Keep up the good work we need people like you that we can copy. Thank you.

Awesome!!! I love handmade projects like yours!!

Very nice engine!

Did you buy the boiler or made it if you bought it I would be interested or if how you made it because were trying to make a steam engine

that is awesome

supper cool

Wowwwwww.....that was several years ago....what you up to now??? Your IQ must be above 140...as to master everything about steam engine including high pressure feeding...you really stress test that engine!!!

Nice sir ji
