@@gwseymour You can craft a small oil separator! It's just a vertical tank with deflectors and metal kitchen scrubbers which will act as a filter and allow the oil to condense, separating it from the steam. This will also allow you to reuse the oil.
@@franciscofernandez5666 I appreciate your thoughts, but I have to respectfully disagree on multiple levels. The oil can't condense, because it hasn't evaporated in the first place. It is just particulate matter carried by the steam. As described, your separator would simply condense the steam, and oily water would be the result. Maybe I'm not picturing it correctly. Either way, ANY oil in the boiler water is ugly, as it causes bubble to cling together and surge....disrupting the boiler operation. Why bother if clean water is available?
@@gwseymour I tell you something, I drive by these country boys who have huge yards full of various mowers and riding mowers and I start to think that that would be a good way to get involved in steam power is just get those engines that he has and figure out a good piston that works with steam well.

I do prefer a turbine but I think you need it for a large thing and I don't believe they would work well as a small thing like the piston. And yet I don't really know

If this unit is connected to the steam generator of your compatriot Abner Doble, and a steam condenser is added so that the spent steam does not go into the empty atmosphere, then it will be a masterpiece at all !!!
Wouldnt it be more effective is you edit the intake valve en use that for your steam intake than the sparkplug intake? When the exhaust valve opens the steam for coming from you bougie Just goes out the exhaust port
If you use the intake valve for the steam inlet, then you are limited to very low steam pressure, as it will push the valve open. Yes, this design "looses" some steam during the exhaust stroke, but the simple mechanical efficiency causes it to wind up super fast. RPM = HP.
Yes Sir. It's doing about 1hp @ 75 psi. Got side tracked with the turbine project, making some instructional vids, building a bigger boiler, and other stuff in life...lol.
Perfecta idea para muchas aplicaciones como la de generación de energía o para impulsar un vehículo o tal vez aplicar fuerza a una maquinaria de proceso . Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde pachuca Hidalgo México
I think you could get a much higher PSI if the water tubes over the fire were thinner and you had a lot more of them. Water could boil much more rapidly to get the RPM much higher with more force.
You could also capture the steam and re condense it to save water, also add the re condensed water to a preheater that wraps around the engine before being fed back to the boiler, effectively cooling the engine and preheating the water at the same time.
I believe that is an old lawn mower engine. He must be using the cam and valves because it appears to be a 4 stroke. Most steam engines deliver power with every stroke
Seems fast enough to run a small airplane's propeller engine, lol. Note: the person commenting here is @Stephen Aviaspace I just switched to my dad's account, which is this "Michael Ella".

The pressure is regulated how? The 70% lost energy in a gas powered engine is in the form of heat that could be used to power a boiler with exhaust heat after the cat that is actually hotter than a open flame which could be used as recaptured energy but it depends on torque output of the steam engine? A 1900's model Stanley Steamer had 800 FPT per 1 revolution which is insanely good power. How much power can that small engine produce?
The pressure is regulated by how much fire you have going. Any excess is bled off by a hand valve or relief valve. The test boiler is not that efficient as seen, with much of the heat (open flame) escaping. Running as it is in the vid, I think it's doing about 2 hp. I believe the Stanley ran off around 500 psi, which will give you LOTS of power, no matter what application you use. Thanks for watching!

Yes definitely do a lot of research. Make sure you use hard silver solder for copper or do proper bevels and root preparation if you weld anything.. Lots of energy stored in these things. There is a lot of cool old boiler making books you should read if not for just the beautifully engraved images alone. Use these 200 year old design mixed with tig welding, stainless steel and crazy aerospace alloys like inconel.
1- Is the steam engine 2 or 4 stroke? 2- Have you made any changes to the camshaft, also called valve timing? 2.1 Didn't you make any changes to the engine and just inject steam? 3- What is the pressure value in bars that makes the steam engine work?
Dovrebbe essere un motore 4 tempi OHV, se guardi a destra c'è una vite di spurgo per l'olio, questo presuppone che ci sia un serbatoio che è inesistente sui motori 2 tempi. Ciao! 😎
solar water heaters on a hot day will produce steam, if you combine it with it you do not need to heat the water. I am planning to build one with a solar water heater.
Solar water heaters are awesome. If you're talking about pre-heating the feed water, prior to manual injection that's a good idea. Anything automated however, would be restricted by Pascale's Law. Thanks for sharing! I've never seen a solar water heater produce viable steam, but I'm in Florida so I believe it!
What you could do is add another boiler in another water tank and have the two tubes and a two water tanks tubes B connected to a t tube and have them consolidated into one where it'll run to the valve that way you'll get more pressure and More Steam
If I'm understanding your design, I think that would be the same as increasing the size of the boiler. (Pascale's Law). Thanks for watching and thinking!
It depends on the load / steam pressure. The fastest you see it in the vid is at about 70 psi, and freewheeling. I switched over to turbines, but one day I'll get back and do some more experimenting with a DC motor, drawing different wattages at different pressures.
It turns a small PM better than an alternator. I switched to turbines. Here's a link of one under load charging batts. Thanks for watching. th-cam.com/video/BwsyxRz_eXs/w-d-xo.html
@@kinjalparekh8305 looks like your engine is wood fired. So the expense is boiling water? Compare that to the electricity produced. There are plenty of places in the world where some electricity is better than no electricity at all.
Yes sir, I actually tried that, but it didn't seem to help. You can see we're getting some nice, un-condensed exhaust at about the 2:00 mark. The new boiler will have an enclosed firebox, and I may try the loop then. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! I have posted 4 instructional videos (link in the vid) for converting a gas to this steam engine. It's fairly easy, and much cheaper than buying one. My energies have now switched to turbines. My next turbine (soon) will produce way more power than the reciprocating engines, and use less steam.
I was thinking of using 1 or more 5 ft tall oxygen bottles from oxy acc torch for my boiler my thoughts were they are super thick, designed for high pressures.? Would love to hear your thoughts
Just do a LOT of research on boiler design. The main thing, is that regardless of how thick or strong, there always has to be water behind the area of the boiler being heated. The boiling water acts as a coolant to prevent the steel from reaching temps where it looses it's strength. Even an oxy bottle will loose strength very quickly above 700 degrees F.

Around 500 watts If he used both valves on that engine or build a MUCH better engine like a rotary vane or small turbine, then maybe 2000 watts. I really like this boiler because its very unlikely to explode and is very easy to use. a larger water drum " bottom big tube" would be helpful. just remember a boiler feed pump is needed for this type of boiler so water level is sometimes hard to maintain. The good thing about steam is its reliable and FREE. you can use the exhaust to heat your home or shop! 🤗
Penso que é um motor de moto que funciona a vapor . Para isso o vapor é injetado no escapamento e expelido na admissão, pois assim funcionária (aí contrário)
Nice boiler have you modified it at all in the last two years? It might benefit from a larger drum ontop like the Babcock Willcox design. It would allow for a natural convection to take place in the boiler. Also you can add a mud box on the bottom with with blowoff cock if you have hard water. Im going to make a much smaller water tube boiler as they seem pretty efficient to run for a stationary steam source.
Thanks. Yes, I modified it a lot. That first vid was just a test, and wasn't even meant to be "public", but folks liked it so I left it up. I'm actually building a newer one in the shape of an "A", with a larger steam drum. I like water tubes for the safety aspect. Thanks for watching!

Да!
what material is used for water tube boiler???
Schedule 40 steel
Can you give me exact diameter and other parameters i want it for my project
@@syedwaleedahmedshah8089 The boiler tubes are 1.5 inch X 29 inch Sch 40, and the top and bottom are 4 inch x 19 inch Sch 40. Most of the upper plumbing has been discontinued since the video.
Please hook an a 12v alternator i wanna see something. I wanna see if it can charge battery
It prefers a small PM motor. I switched my energy to turbines for now. See the link to the turbine charging a battery in the description of this video. Thanks for watching.
how much power it produce? is it more then the petrol engine you used?
HP depends on the steam pressure. This engine was producing about 1-2 hp at around 100 psi.
@@gwseymour so thats a net loss of about 10bhp, thats progress. but i suppose steam is cheep at only the cost of a forest or two
@@aeroflopper Ha! Well, I only use wood that is already dead. But certainly there is a reason the world switched to gasoline.
What if you add a superheating system which uses induction heating to dry the steam?
Sure.... there is always room for improvement. This was just a fun, basic engine.

You just remove the spark plug and cover the hole then attach some pipes and make a boiler with a firebox so you can put coal,charcoal,or wood
The spark plug becomes the intake, the intake is disabled, and the exhaust cam is modified to release on every upstroke. Here's a link to the first of 4 instruction vids. th-cam.com/video/8G1h4xR5q5Q/w-d-xo.html
How do you lubricate the bore?
I will be posting instructional videos very soon, but it is basically run empty, with oil added through a hole that covers all the parts.
La idea es encontrar un nuevo combustible alternativo ... ahi esta volviendo a otras tecnologías antiguas
Si. Gracias por ver.
Does it have enough torque to spin an alternator or generator?
It would do a 300 watt DC motor. I have spun up an alternator, but I had to disconnect it's "brain" and load it myself with a potentiometer.
Wonderful, where to get this egine
I am finishing the instructional videos, and will upload them soon. Thanks!
It's air compressure
Hello! Do you think it is possible to convert a gas engine in a generator to steam? Thank you.
Certainly, but don't expect the same HP.
pretty cool! - Idea: Do it with an impactdriver + caralternator 12 V ..
Vid soon with instructions and alternator. Thanks!
Is possible that i can buy this.
I don't normally sell engines, but if you are in the US and have a good boiler, then email me at infoglenwoodrd@gmail.com. Also, there is a link to instructions for a self-build in the video.
How much HP you getting will it run a pma to power something
It's doing 1-2 HP at around 100 psi. I've since switched to experimenting with turbines for more reliable and efficient production of electricity.
@@gwseymour awesome great job man I hope you make something decent enough to get 1000watts of charge from if you do I’m copying lol
@@350pauli Thanks....and feel free to copy. If you haven't already viewed it, here's a link to the turbine project. th-cam.com/video/aiiCTZxvsfQ/w-d-xo.html
En q parte le pusiste la coneccion de vapor al cilindro no se ve bien

Dude, show us your latest and sell.us some plans
The plans are free as a series of 4 instructional vids. Each is linked to the next. Here's a link to Vid #1 th-cam.com/video/8G1h4xR5q5Q/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching.
I've always wondered about putting the steam (pressure) supply into the spark plug hole... Are you only using the exhaust valve?
Yes. The intake is dormant, and the exhaust cam is modified to open on every upstroke.
I'm gonna try that, seems the ones I've seen done this way turn more RPM, considering making mine a uniflow design as well.
Is there a way to easily feed oil into the cylinder?
Переделка ДВС в паровой. А сколько он прослужит без смазки колец? Правильно, не долго. А смысл тогда в нем? Но все равно, автору респект.
Кольца смазаны. Спасибо.
Hi, it is james watt machin😄😄😄
He was way more efficient than I. Thanks for watching!
How big of a generator could that run?
Around 500 watts If he used both valves on that engine or build a MUCH better engine like a rotary vane or small turbine, then maybe 2000 watts. I really like this boiler because its very unlikely to explode and is very easy to use. a larger water drum " bottom big tube" would be helpful. just remember a boiler feed pump is needed for this type of boiler so water level is sometimes hard to maintain. The good thing about steam is its reliable and FREE. you can use the exhaust to heat your home or shop! 🤗
How to make boiler please record the video
I encourage people to do their own research before making a boiler. It's not really something you can cover in a short video.
Please share the build share knowleage i would love to build it
I will upload instruction videos very soon. Thanks
Going back in time
De volta para o Futuro!
Good job
But very inefficient because of the short stroke .
Thanks. It was just for fun.
Why u not change phase of steam and reuse as hot water it will decrease fuel.
The steam isn't clean. It picks up a residual amount of oil passing through the engine. Thanks for watching!
Como é o funcionamento desse motor?
Penso que é um motor de moto que funciona a vapor . Para isso o vapor é injetado no escapamento e expelido na admissão, pois assim funcionária (aí contrário)
Hello. Where did you buy this engine? Give me a drawing. I want to do.
I will upload instructions very soon, Thanks
How long can it run for on that tank ?
Nice boiler have you modified it at all in the last two years? It might benefit from a larger drum ontop like the Babcock Willcox design. It would allow for a natural convection to take place in the boiler. Also you can add a mud box on the bottom with with blowoff cock if you have hard water. Im going to make a much smaller water tube boiler as they seem pretty efficient to run for a stationary steam source.
Thanks. Yes, I modified it a lot. That first vid was just a test, and wasn't even meant to be "public", but folks liked it so I left it up. I'm actually building a newer one in the shape of an "A", with a larger steam drum. I like water tubes for the safety aspect. Thanks for watching!
@@gwseymour your first test boiler was so simple looking and worked great considering it was just some water tubes and some burning twigs and no insulating shell yet. What a great video indeed, glad you kept it up.
Thanks! Check out the turbine if you wish (link in the description)
Ok this is very nice
Thanks!
Whats is the size and gauge of this boiler tubes ??
They are 1-1/2 pipe. 1-1/2 ID, 1-7/8 OD
How often does it need to be lubricated?
I used a unique method that I describe in one of my instruction vids (link attached). This requires a few drops every few minutes. th-cam.com/video/dA3IQQcOgsY/w-d-xo.html
