Don't forget to add a lubricator so the cyl is protected from the steam while running . Liquid running dwon into the crank case is something which will cause you problem
Since your going to run a generator you could find a couple of 12v solenoid actuated valves, roller micro switches and a battery for starting, then really go high tech with extra switches combined on different cams so you can switch valve duration from "economy" to "Power" and back depending on load.
But you will have to make your own cam, use 2 switches one for intake and one for exhaust so they can be adjusted independently, once engine is up to speed you will want to set the intake to give a small burst of stem then close so that steam can expand, for starting or high demand you increase the length of the burst,
increible que nadie le puso me gusta al video y yo sea el primero, es una idea increible, mut original, te felicito! probablemente la ponga en practica con una bomba de agua que tengo por ahi, me gusto lo simple que lo hiciste. saludos desde argentina
I have it basically done and could show how it's built in a video tomorrow, the problem is we are now under burn restriction's and it will be September before it's lifted. So the question is it worth seeing a video of how its made without being able to show it running? I could do the broiler build now and the steam engine broiler combination video in September? I will let all of you decide leave a comment if that build video interests you!
Conceptually, what you could do when you go to steam, is install a small oil injection squirt system into the cylinder and external joints needing it. You would need an injection system run on a cam, as a simpler gravity system wouldn't work for the pressurized cylinder of course. A ball check system or perhaps something off a diesel injector could be incorporated, but you would need to install a softer spring. The oil volume would be miniscule amount so the oil reservoir wouldn't empty much. Maybe even a 10 weight oil would work. If oil consumption is a concern you could filter your used crankcase oil through a drip filter made of stacked toilet paper rolls, then finally through carbon.
Can you please put it under a load? Even with just air pressure it would be nice to see it working under load. What kind of Hp do you think it will develop? I know that it will be dependent on input pressure but what do you see as your working pressure? Thank You
dude with compressor modified into steam engine,genius,man make the linkage little bit neater and make a motorcycle,just a thought surely not nocking ya very cool
You could have done the same thing using a single rod running between the 2 valves using the same technique as with the outlet valve for the intake valve. On the up stroke it would open the input valve and on the down stroke it releases the input valve and opens the output valve.
The valves are in one way so if you catch strongly or give full load to the crank or pulley when in inlet supply position the air will pass directly through exhaust valve and rotation will stop.Its rotating just without load. This is my experience.
Sir as in video only inlet is controlled. this engine is air compressor engine so free one way valve inlet and outlet. If I am not wrong I see only inlet valve controlled . If exhaust also controlled like in poppet valve then your project is ok.
I can bet money routing a line from the exhaust port you plugged back around to the same position the valve is currently will net a huge gain in performance. Purely because the air can flow in one side and then proceed out without an change in direction inside the line or back out the same port on the other. Flow dynamics more or less. I'd be curious to see how that alone would affect performance. None the less I see a good idea for a home power plant. Might get a small GM car ALT and do something like this one night if I can find a good device to steal a part or ten from.
Put a belt on to drive an alternator, to charge a battery, then an inverter to provide 110volt current to run the compressor supplying the air, and you will have a perpetual motion machine. No need for fancy machine work, just hold alternator in place with baling wire through all those holes in framework, add some duct tape and bent nails if needed.
The bottom end is oiled with a flicker on the cam that flings a little oil each revolution at the bottom of the piston. The rest will be a steam line oil tank and a hand oil can.
SO THE AIR AKA STEAM IS GOING IN AND COMING OUT OF THE SAME PORT. AT DIFFERENT TIMES ALONG WITH THE FLYWHEEL FOR CENTRIFUGAL MOTION. AM I CORRECT? I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A DIAGRAM. LOVE IT THANKS GOD BLESS
INTAKE VALVE-The air enters the engine just at or past top dead center continues until 3/4 of the way down the stroke length then shuts off, the second rod begins to open the output valve just before bottom dead center allowing the pressure in the cylinder to escape as the piston is rotated by the flywheel back to top dead center.
I UNDERSTAND BUT WHERE THE AIR A.K.A. STEAM GOES IN AND OUT OF THE ENGINE IS AT THE SAME PLACE CORRECT. JUST THE EXITING OF THE STEAM AKA AIR GOES THROUGH A DIFFERENT VALVE EXIT VALVE?
I have an a idea if you could get 2 more pumps have them on say 2 front wheels then they put air into you air tank. them you could have twice amount going into the tank than coming out... but what about over pressure make a valve to sort of balance the air going in to to whats coming out. in theory, well my theory it could work real good, just got make sure you got good lubercation. my thought of an vehicle type would be 3 wheels two in the front one in the back. tell me what you think. thanks
Cool idea, it would only give you a small portion of the energy used back in breaking. How many cubic feet of air does it take to create one cubic inch of air at 100 psi? So if there is 6.8 cubic feet of atmospheric pressured air in every cubic foot of 100 psi compressed air, and the cylinder on your compressor is 3" dia, with a 3" stroke how many compression strokes are needed to fill one cubic foot of air at 100 psi? Answering these questions will help you figure out the return ration from the regenerative braking. Once you have that number now figure out how many cubic feet of atmospheric air it takes to fill the cavity or cylinder of your compressed air engine at 100 psi! The difference would be your return %.
Sorry got that square inch number in with the cubic inch measurements and messed that math up, let's try that now while I'm sitting down. At 21.20 cubic inch's per stroke of the compressor and 1,728 cubic inch's per cubic foot, it would take 81.5 compression strokes to compress one cubic foot of air at atmospheric pressure or 14.7 psi. and it takes 6.8 cubic feet of atmospheric pressure air to provide one cubic foot of air at 100 psi., so it would take 81.5 x 6.8 = 554.26 strokes from the compressor to store 1 cubic foot at 100 psi. 21.2 cubic inch's is only 0.01226852 of a cubic foot, now if Boyle's law works and I have it right we multiply 0.01226852 x 100psi = 1.226852 cubic feet of atmospheric air is needed to fill an 21.2 cubic inch engine cylinder of the same size to 100 psi. Now this should be closer, how many compression strokes to engine power stroke?
If you could I guaranteed it would have been done by now, I do see how that it could seem possible. Don't stop looking some day some one will find perpetual motion. Thanks for watching.
Bark Not really the same thing, although it does have some interaction with the vacuum force, and it like Q-flux was around at the creation moment. If you want to under stand what I meant read up on why a atom bomb doesn't keep exponentially expanding and the forces that act to constrain the reaction. This is the fundamental reason why all chaos finds order, imagine if one could find energy in order and not in chaos,that would be truly self-sustaining energy!
Bark For starters look at the four fundamental forces the govern all mater The week force the strong force electromagnetic force and the nuclear force. These forces are the inhibitors to perpetual chaos and in turn the creators of chaos, so if you could control how they interact with matter than you could presumably control matter and there for energy. I think order is energy waiting to be understood and harnessed, it would require no outside force to continue to produce energy, since it is the state in which all matter want's to be in.
mmm I was watching the movement of the two rods and started to wonder if you could control the two air chucks with just one rod. The timing of the two rod seemed to in sync but that just might be a product of photograph.
Why because it ran with my finger over the exhaust ( not very efficient)? That method doesn't allow the piston to receive a full power push, like a closed valve would and the up stroke or exhaust valve releases the pressure in front of the piston reducing the resistance better.
If you have that as a generator and pump output air back into the tank with pump powered by the generated power couldent you acctually make an infinite generator
Actually whether you use steam or air there are no real emissions to speak of I guess you could consider the water droplets from the steam being released through the exhaust emissions during steam run but water's natural to the environment so there really is no environmental impact here!
What about the fuel to heat the water, provided it was steam. If it was air compressor then the only pollution is your power bill and whatever supplies your home
why would u bother? You're generating the compressed-air with an electrically-powered compressor...this is a perverse waste of energy...UNLESS u want to run the engine underwater
that's cool I'm a big alternate energy guy keep up the work man America needs more guys like you
You do know the vast majority of the world's electric power is generated using steam right?
That's definitely not true
Fiona BearBear
Ohw but it is, all coal, gas and nuclear power plants use steam turbines to convert heat into electric power.
Never thought of that. You're right and I learned something new.
I like that valve setup, you makes things as simple as possible...... 👍👍👍
Don't forget to add a lubricator so the cyl is protected from the steam while running . Liquid running dwon into the crank case is something which will cause you problem
@@Channel-tr1hx You mix a little bit of oil with the water/steam, kinda like a 2 stroke engine.

Sounds like you know a lot I don't! Where can I find more info? I have compressor like this, which I'd love to adapt to run on steam...

that's a neat use of an old Air compressor xD I think I have one around here...

Really cool demonstration! Now it's just a matter of improvement.
awesome work! i've been looking for a small (affordable) steam engine, would love to see a scrap build boiler to

Now you need a bad ass boiler.

dude with compressor modified into steam engine,genius,man make the linkage little bit neater and make a motorcycle,just a thought surely not nocking ya very cool
I have the rear end of an old riding lawn mower that I may use to build a steam tractor.
+MrTeslonian that would be bad ass

Will Wade ''the input valve is close and the open is exhause valve...
Do you ever run your steam engine on steam and if so, what is the horsepower output potential?
The valves are in one way so if you catch strongly or give full load to the crank or pulley when in inlet supply position the air will pass directly through exhaust valve and rotation will stop.Its rotating just without load. This is my experience.
The two valves are never open at the same time ( this is why we have timing), so no it won't just blow across to the output!
Sir as in video only inlet is controlled. this engine is air compressor engine so free one way valve inlet and outlet. If I am not wrong I see only inlet valve controlled . If exhaust also controlled like in poppet valve then your project is ok.
oh oh I see i see inlet and out let in same pipe. Divided exhaust in another pipe. Ya it will work...

By the way the video ended, it looks like ther's supposed to be a part 2.
do you think the cylinder and the block could survive a while being expose to humidity? what we're the alloys use to make to old time steam engines?
So far I saw a compressed air engine are you going to actually build a steam mechanism?
Freaking Awesome you the man
How do you plan on oiling it?
The bottom end is oiled with a flicker on the cam that flings a little oil each revolution at the bottom of the piston. The rest will be a steam line oil tank and a hand oil can.
In a closed loop system the oil could be allowed to separate in a settling tank, then remove the oil from the surface of the water in the tank.

thanks brother i can do that.GOD BLESS
How did you do that? Did you get new things or what and can you tell me what things I need to be able to do one of my own please?

Now this should be closer, how many compression strokes to engine power stroke?
เอื้อน ใจเยือกเย็น Yes?
If you haven't done it already, you should have a starter mechanism.
Now run a belt to a alternator hooked up to a battery that runs the compressor
This is impressive. How much pressure is needed to run this?
It will run with only 25 psi without a load applied, if you want to make usable power from it you want 80-150 psi.
MrTeslonian couldn't you hook up your ramjet air compressor to this, almost perpetual as long as the stream doesn't dry up.
would it be possible to make this a closed system? Get it going and then have the exhaust recirculate back to the intake? perpetual power?
If you could I guaranteed it would have been done by now, I do see how that it could seem possible.
Don't stop looking some day some one will find perpetual motion. Thanks for watching.
Remember that chaos always finds order, the secret is in perpetual chaos.
Perpetual chaos...? Like quantum fluctuations?

To let the steam escape on the exhaust stroke.
Simple but perfect design
Thank you very much!!!
That is totally awsome!!

where can i et the valve you use in this video
It is a standard blower head for air compressors found anywhere they would sell air compressors
What emissions are released into the atmosphere
From what? The compressed air or steam?

+Robin Barnard sisi
co2 is good for trees.
you need to turn the exhaust valve around so it doesn't leak from the pressure
when there's gonna be part 2

How many hp does the engine generate? really work with steam?
if you use steam to run it, it wil seize up quite soon
nice
Great stuff!

Compress air for itself, bum, ilimited energy
toot toot...
:-):-):-)
why would u bother? You're generating the compressed-air with an electrically-powered compressor...this is a perverse waste of energy...UNLESS u want to run the engine underwater
compressed air was used to TEST the engine... read mr Ts blurb above..... keep up the good work Mr Teslonian... you rock my world
