Don’t even try it. He tried to trash the fact the engine was from China.

I don’t ask you or him to come look at my videos. But here your are starting to bother me. Get all this started over a TOY. But you’re in your right mind, right?

Yea I have a small clip of it running a dynamo, hooked to a boost buck converter. I dropped the volts to 5.5 and use it to charge any usb device.

How big and what psi would be needed for a 3500w generator

@@joshclark121987 around 45psi if the steam isn’t too wet. You will not have to open the valve on the boiler all the way. Depending on how dry the steam is the valve could be barely cracked open for full operation.

@@joshclark121987 10v 2.4 amps 10watts is all my dynamo will put out.

I never put the pole count in the castle esc. It was 800kv with 6s lipo, off storage charge. So the volts was right but the pole count was off. I used a castle Sbus telemetry link.

It works quite well for me on land. Water it’s no good.

It has a counter weight like a grand father clock.

​@@mooniedizzel6443this could make a funky timing mech for a clock, each clock tick would have to cover seconds and might be inacurate, but it would be neat.

How long before it stops or needs more tension on its spring ?

@@jamesatkinson7517 1min 30sec about. There is one that runs 30hrs.

They're almost $500

@@Dontbeafraid2 NOOOO!

@Bendyfan1930 yeah. Those mini model engines cost about $200-$600.

Vary good idea.

@@mooniedizzel6443 FWIW: I drilled two holes 2 mm diameter in the crosshead guides, just above the top of the stroke. There's not much space there, but just enough. I used brass tubing 2 mm outer, 1 mm inner diameter for the oil feed. The oil lands on top of the crosshead "piston" and from there spreads evenly all around. I do not see even the slightest bit of running marks in the guides after 56 hours of runtime (boat in water runtime, I mean). The oil reservoir is approx 10 ml (1/3 oz) with 7 wicks feeding 2 crossheads, 3 main bearings and 2 Excenter sets. Cotton yarn (abt 1 mm thick) is used for wicks. Oil consumption is very low, if I had to estimate less than half ml/hr all wicks combined, but the engine is perfectly lubricated with that tiny bit of oil. I use Synth engine oil 10W40 (same I use for my bike) but I don't think the oil type is critical.

@@rigididiot I got a ratchet pump I was going to try out. Maybe I’ll try the wick first.

@@mooniedizzel6443 I have been thinking about those ratchet pumps. I concluded that they only work for a single lubricating point (like the cylinder lubrication) but not for multiple points, since you cannot control whether the oil evenly distributes over all points. For all you know 95% of the oil goes one way. And you need minimum 2 (the crossheads) but ideally 7 independent oil supplies. I want to see if I can make a plunger pump for cylinder lubrication, because I prefer precise control, or maybe a ratchet pump (they can be commercially had, and I'm a poor fabricator :D). The wickfeed, for someone with your skills should be what? 2 hours work tops, from cutting material to finished and functional product...

It is not closed system if it does not have condensate reclamation, and I don't see that. Exhaust steam seems to be vented off in the smokestack?

Yea. I built it for this tug boat in the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4C7lJaji8ylmLcsi=V9pEM0NqCWF15yO1

I have only made bench tests. What reciver did you use?

@mooniedizzel6443 I have the Futaba 10PX it came with the R404SBS F-4G receiver so I don't know if it's just a glitch or whatever? But like I said I've removed the TL01 and haven't had any issues with it since. I also have the same receiver in my Losi 5ivet with a gas engine in it as well and haven't experienced any glitching from it.I even have a Temp sensor hooked up to my SBus2 port and it doesn't seem to effect anything at all? So maybe I just have a bad TLO1 that doesn't want to talk properly to the receiver and ESC?

@@losi5ivet29cc vary odd I will keep a eye on it. I did notice the telemetry signal is no good in water. In or over water you only get about 30 foot before signal lost for telemetry.

I also have a 10px. I have a Mamba Monster X 8S, the current draw just reads 11 amps, when I hit the throttle on a motor without load, and only 2S battery, the telemetry reads 250 amps.. lol. I have a XLX2 and Mamba Monster tnat reads correctly..

No you can get them from anyone of the Chinese outfits.

These are built from a fiberglass hull no plans.

Like a metal animal…

I can’t reload the video I no longer have it. Sorry.

They are fun.

Thanks Otto. The shop has moved to a much smaller location.

Sorry it took me some time to set up a dynamo on the turbine. It maxed out the dynamo on 7:1 underdrive. @5300rpms 10VDV @ 10watts No load 12VDC Max current 2.4amp

It’s hard to stop and It works better under load in most app.

@@mooniedizzel6443 Bummer ☹️ I’m in Lexington Kentucky… really wished I was closer! An old - school hobby shop AND miniature engines ? Hells bells, that’s a dream shop!

@@mhz-yn9gh the guy that owns it is a master machinist. He made some amazing pieces. Check out the Fairbanks on my page he made. He going to bring in a v8 in a week or two.

@@mooniedizzel6443 Dammit I need to come to Delaware! 😅

We are on Facebook under Hobby Stop.
