I find the older I get the more interested I am in old technology. Steam engines fascinate me :)
Great job 👍👍👍 I like your high tech hydraulic pressure tester 👍🤣 Cheers, Alan.
Amazing what pressure you can get from a cheap spray bottle.
Beautiful. A Master at play.
Great job, thanks a lot for sharing!
Second! :-)
Nice work
Nice video. Re flanging, do you think that 3D printing flange blocks could be applied on some if not all components?
Yes I have used 3d printed formats and the work fine.
Interesting that you didn't flange the boiler end caps. How think of material did you use?
I've heard about people talking about doing a small boiler this way, but hadn't seen anyone do it
I did it also with a small vertical boiler.
3mm thick disc, 42mm in diameter.
9 flame tubes 8/6mm.
Outer shell is 67mm.
The outer shell does have flanged plates.
I used 2mm end plates. I used a similar method on my Ellie tram engine which was a published design.
What is the thickness of the copper plate?
I am playing with the idea of making a new boiler with firebox for my wilesco roller
I used 0.5mm for the tube and the ends are 2mm.
Nice work! Have you ever seen a "turbo torch" used in refrigeration tubing and piping ? It has different size tips that you can control the heat with when brazing.
Yes I have, but not suitable for boiler making imo as you need to heat a large surface, not just where the joint is. The Sievert set I have has a number of different burners the largest has an output of 85kw.
Sir. I am intrigued by how the firebox end plate was fitted over the top boiler bushing, did you make a clearance hole without showing us?
The front firebox plate has a cut out at the bottom of the hole for the barrel. The barrel is inserted upside down then rotated into th correct position.
Thanks. I do like the firebox and tubeless boiler concept in this design. @@myfordboy
7:17 - no flanges on the bronze plate?
Simplified construction. 2mm plate. Bronze because I had a bit in stock. This is the same construction as used in the popular Ellie tram engine model.
@@myfordboy is that because of the lower working pressure makes it suitable? I'm making my way through your TE again and finding it very enjoyable.
Glad you like the traction engine.
I belive the method of unflanged plates it common in Austrailia.
First!
As a kid, I remember every Mamod steam engine ran by throwing hot water across the room. Crap design, with crap tolerances. Good luck improving this one.
