That’s awesome. You should submit it to LEGO ideas
You should read the actual fine-print they have on the LEGO Ideas website... Nico probably wants to keep ownership of his creations, not donate it to TLG.
@Oscar Vandenbogaert no he put it in the bit at the bottom (subtitles?) . Suprising how it runs that well without modifications
Yrs he should
Yes, let all kids play with boiling hot steam
@@CheeseMiser its run with air you hothead
When you've retired, but refuse to stop working.
100th like !
I love steam engines! The wheels and see the mechanics! Amazing!
Thank you. Amazing mechanism
Replying to yaself eh?

Nico71's Lego Technic Creations y
This contraption is the pure mean of lego engineering !!😂🙋
Nice touch with the working governer, you dont see those to often in lego
I want..need this to be a buyable set!
Now it is ! Please check the description :)
@@Nico71Fr ok this is way too expensive to be a lego set 31,000 $ are you kidding?
@@bennybean4500 this is 240$, not 31,000$ ! See the link in the description :)
This Lego non-dead spot system is brilliant! LPE engines with modified pieces were already very impressive but this set is simply amazing by its ability to create a perfectly smooth engine out of regular bricks... Speechless
Many thank you, you completely understand the challenge on this type of engine :)
Once again, great piece of engineering from a great designer! Keep up the awesome work! :)
This needs to be a Lego set
It is not but now you can buy it ! Please check the description :)
i love how you make LPEs without modified parts. This really allows alot of people to build them. good job
Echt der Hammer! Mega gut!
Hey Lehrer Schmidt!
You got 1.12 million subs, and only 5 likes on your comment. I'll give you a 6th like bro. :) Have a wonderful weekend.
I love how you put effort into the conrods to make them look like they have bearings, another great build
I am glad that you have noticed !
Franchement j'ai pas de mot à dire face à cette ingénierie ! Bravo !
That's good lesson about pneumatic for advanced builders
That valve switching mechanism is genius!!!!
Very Nice Model, Nice to see another LPE from you 👍
Helwo
Great engineering, great construction, great explanation: awesome video!
that centrifugal device is called the governor. thats what regulates steam flow to the turbine or in this case engine. if the speed drops so does the governor which then opens the valve letting more steam through, if too much steam is let in the governor automatically regulates it. it's also completely mechanical and doesn't need any electricity to run.
It is not a proper governor as it doesn't control the airflow but rather a display one. As explained in the article, it is not possible to make it run as a governor due to the lack of torque of the engine to run a massive governor to pinch the hose, It was the initial plan but after testing many thing, it is simply not possible to do without more torque and metal parts for weight.
The music is unique.... round & round the mind long after finished playing.
Next an air powered combustion engine and then building a working car around that? Amazing job!
I do not think it is possible to make a real combustion engine, but I have already made some pneumatic vehicle, you can check on my channel :)
I have made a 1 cylinder vacuum engine. The closest you can get to a combustion engine.
This is great! I love it, although, the centrifugal device seems a bit wobbly
Yes it is due the construction, which is not easy to brace correctly.
Wow! This is incredible! You have amazing skill to be able to come up with something like this! Keep up the good work!
Thank you !
While technically not a steam engine. This compressed air engine is a very cool model
Nice 4 point leaver controll. I made a steam machine way back, but just used a rod to smash the selector over. It was sub optimal... but did work
It really sounds like a steam engine! Choo choo!
Far better model than the many lego themselves put out!
Insanely jealous of your talent!
Thank you :)
THIS NEEDS TO BE A LEGO SET
It is not buy now you can buy it ! Please check the description :)
One improvement that could be made is that speed indicator. Add functionality. one more valve inline with the main air turned on and off with the speed indicator. You'll have a speed limit and ultimately a hit and miss lego engine that will automatically use air only when needed.
Hello, indeed but as explained in the article, it is not possible due to the lack of torque of the engine to run a massive governor to pinch the hose, It was the initial plan but after testing many thing, it is simply not possible to do without more torque and metal parts for weight.
Just building the 42082 D model, this will be my next purchase for sure!
Thanks for building the D model ! Did you know there is also a E model ? -> th-cam.com/video/QUk7Gxf-BVI/w-d-xo.html
perfect sive for technic minifigures
Cool! The linkage you use for the pneumatic switch looks awesome!
thank, it is inspired by valve gear on real locomotive.
I feel like you could put a lego compressor on the back of it, and have a completely self sufficient LEGO engine, besides the motors for the compressor of course.
It most likely wouldn’t have enough power to move itself provided it had wheels, but it would be neat nonetheless.
Yes it is possible, but this is a little non sense to do it. If I use an electrical motor, I can power the wheel direclty. The steam machine is originally powered by steam (from coal burning), and therefore transform the heat energy in mechanical energy. If you have electrical energy, you do not need a steam transformer to have mechanical power, just an electrical motor.
Needs to be a kit - would definitely buy.
Now it is ! Please check the description :)
@@Nico71Fr my Wife is going to be so annoyed with you....
Amazing!!! Much smoother than most pneumatic engines.
Thank ! The flywheel help a lot.
Please do a 1hour time lapse of it
How have I managed not to see this
This my friend is awesome
Beautiful
Technicaly you could make the govenor work using the hose pinch method by having the govenor pinch a hose as it flys out slowing the engine down and as it slows down the air opens up speedit up
Hello, indeed but as explained in the article, it is not possible due to the lack of torque of the engine to run a massive governor to pinch the hose, It was the initial plan but after testing many thing, it is simply not possible to do without more torque and metal parts for weight.
I love locomotive valve gears!
Now all it needs is a custom air whistle!
I'm actually planning to buy one!
Thanks in advance so !
Beautiful Machine
this should get a official lego technic set, or Creator
I would immediately *BUY* this masterpiece and watch it doing its thing for hours...
Like i watch the videos of Tripple Expansion Steam engines
You will be able to do soon ! I work with mochub to propose it for sale (see link in the description).
Now you can buy it ! Please check the description :)
@@Nico71Fr
O.O
*The time has come...*
@@Nico71Fr
I am currently unable to view my account balance... (have forgotten my PIN and failed 3 times) but can you hold back one set of it for about 7 days... also Shipping ? to Europe ?
@@legitscoper3259 the creation are product with a partner, it is not me who pick the parts, but don't worry, the package is made after the order, no rush. Shipping wolrdwide.
instead hand pump can i use steam instead? trying to make steam engine for school project
I don't think so, as it will be too hot for the plastic, affecting the internal seal. I think also the pressure will be too important, especially if you want to use effective and satured steam. You can try, but at your own risk !
Fabulous model, love the sound it makes
Can someone explain how this is different from the mechanism in the hot bulb pneumatic tractor? Just wondering. :)
It is different by three points : there is no adjustable timing point (this is fixed), there is a more complex timing linkage (to compensate the fact it is not adjustable, and there are two engine instead of one.
You should make a Lego steam train in a similar fashion to this! BTW Great Vid!
Lego should make low pressure pneumatic cylinders as well as valves that don't require that much force to move or ones for Higher capacities. I think i will try to make some custom lego cylinders myself, but making a valve is so damn hard...
You can check the lego pneumatic engine based on depression using hoover.
@@Nico71Fr took me a while to understand that comment 😉 i once made a vacuum engine too, but i ment cylinders and valves that don't consist of lego bricks, because they aren't airtight enough. What i like would be a double acting cylinder with a large bore and a short stroke. Anyway, i don't want to further annoy you with my wishes😉 good luck and have fun with your further projects and builds!
@@m8die319 I understand, no problem, thank you :)
Very nice! There has not been enough steam engines built with LEGO. Now go power a GBC with it :)
Thanks ! Just a question : you are "the"Tom Atkinson from the world record GBC ? (I have seen a hour wideo on beyond the brick)
Yes I am THE Tom Atkinson :) TH-cam famous and all. Thanks to Beyond the Brick.
@@smokey2daddy Great to know you !
We use Steam tractors or called steam engines theyre huge and heavy
Amazing
Strange idea. But what if you made a real steam engine but the moving parts are mainly in Technic?
Need to get some more air and see what rpms you can push out of it
This is not the idea here, the engine run in the same scaled speed as regular steam machine.
*James Watt wants to know your location*
This is such a great video, so clean wow
imagine you could add a little mechanic of electricity and charging your phone there that w9uld be unlimited power but its kinda weak if u ask me but i think it would be still be able to do something right?
It would be not unlimited power as I need to pump with my hand to generate air to generate motion, to generate electricity. I would better to generate directly electricity with my hand, with a motor or dynamo for instance. Efficiency can not be more than 1, always energy loss, so no unlimited power, thermodynamic rule.
very cool
Nice stuff
Great work!
I bought the instructions and ordered myself some parts, and I'm going to try to add a compressor system to the engine to let it produce air for itself.
Thank you !
Very nice!
Great job, but the spedometer needs a little work... it works but it could be smoother. Overall, great job!
Yes indeed ! As it is based on inertia, the LEGO elements lack some. Ideally I would work better if it has more inertia, less play, more travel, like the one I have done some year ago (you an search centrifugal tachometer on my channel), but here it was just a small build added to the machine because I was limited by the scale.
@@Nico71Fr Yeah, I have made a console for a pnumatic engine, ir has an air gauge (self built) and a spedometer, to track the engine. Im not a lego youtuber and I build everything mainly from the TECHNIC pnumatic tow-truck set... and with the valves that come in the set do not seem to work with the engine... do you have any ideas?
Can you give me the set number in ordre I check the valves.
That is so great.. so smooth
ตรงจุดแม่แรงรับน้ำหนัก➖เสมอกันทั้ง4ด้าน2ด้าน..😮รถยนต์จุดตรงกลาง..แม่แรงยกของยกพร้อมกัน4ด้านสบายๆ😅ดีกว่า.มอเตอร์เฟื่องสายสลิง😮
Me, an intellectual: but there's no steam
It's an LPE engine.
@@maxdavies9958 yes thank you
Chapeau l’artiste 👌👏👏👍🤯
Very well done, love it!
if it runs at a fixed rate, you could use it like a clock!
Nice work
Hey its very good
Wonder if theres an easy way to do lego Walschaerts valve gear
I think it is possible mechanically but if it has to work with lego pneumatic engine, the play in lego and adjustment could be a problem.
Love the rpm meter!
Thanks !
super design, super boulot Nico71 !
Merci à toi :)
Does it create real energy
I got a question: How does it keep momentum? Is the wheel really that heavy? I made a 2 cylinder (48mm) once and it couldn't even rotate 180 degrees!
A inertia mecanism is essential for me to pass the hard point of the switch. You do not need if you modified your switch, here there is big radius and 5:1 rotation multiplier wich help to have big inertia.
Amazing!!!👏
Where do you heat the water to get the steam? Do you just collect steam and put it into a container?
It is a reproduction of a steam machine it do not work with steam but with compressed air.
@@Nico71Fr okay
Why is it you didn't give me a pump for me to activate this engine? I Have an engine that doesn't even run. Where can I buy the a pump. All necessary parts?
Hello, the pump is not included in the instructions or in the package from mochub because I found that is was not smart to force people to buy lego pump because they probably have already other pump (lego or compressor or hand pump etc). This is clearly written in my website, rebrickable and mochub. I advise you to use lego pump if you have, or a compressor (automotive or heavier), or hand pump for ball or bike with a needle. If you have bought your engine from mochub and it does not work because of the switch, please contact me on the contact form on my website, I will see with mochub to figure out the problem.
What’s with the spinning fan thing?
you should try to use this in aa working lego train
that centrifugal device is called a governor
Your work is very cool 😎
Thanks !
That speed indicator!! Fantastic!
Is it powerful?
I have not measured but with standard pressure of 2-3 bars, with the stroke of the cylinder and the radius of the crankshaft, it can gives 1 to 3W I think. More if the cylinders and switches are modified and more pressure, which is not the case in the video.
awesome. thats all i can say
Genius
Thanks !
Hello, I bought this set too long ago and noticed it did not come with the pump as am I building it. How can I pump air into the machine without the shown pump built?
Hello, you can use any air source with 2 bars minimum and constant flow. For instance bike pump, automotive compressor or Lego pump that you can buy on bricklink. You can connect the air source to the main inlet with a ballon needle.
I’d make it but I don’t have a flywheel or Lego pneumatic
👍 Beautiful job!
Great resemblance to the classic steam machines.
Very good work. Congratulations.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks jose !
I have purchased this set, and it has now arrived, where do I find the instructions for it ?
Hello, where did you purchase ?
Nice
Great, it even has a governer
Absolutely awesome cool.
I love it ! Great job man !
Very cool Machine. The black flywheel looks really good. The shool I used to go to has a live size one of these in a Glass Building in front of the school
What programm do you use for your instructions?
It would be a nice kinetic scultpure in deed. I use ldcad for the CAD modeling and Lpub3D for the instructions, the both are based on the ldraw part library.
Pure genius engineering ❤️
nice
