Sometimes you have to choose a solution that works with the time constraints you're working with. It only took me around 30 minutes to completely clean up the edges of the model.

hmm... I love sterling engines, but the sound of sterling engines (that I know of) is much more mechanical then fluid dynamic. That could be a benefit as it would give reason to add some metal noises to the simulation. That could be a drawback, because for combustion engines - which are the focus - those sounds should not dominate.

Amazing work! Tiniest nitpick - if the temperature gauge in the water tank were submerged in water as you've modelled it (as typically probes measure from the end, not the whole length), it would never pass 100 deg C, it would need to be measuring the air/steam temp above the water. Edit: As Ange points out in his reply, these temperatures are totally achievable under pressure. 🤦

Walschaerts valve gears are cool. They allow you to set how long the valve is open during the stroke. When setting it to a lower setting, only a small bit of steam enters the cylinder. It then expands on its own, creating higher efficiency. When taking off from the station, the valve gear is 100% open during the entire stroke, wasting expansion and releasing it into the air as loud chuffs. The gear is also used to reverse the engine direction.

I've always been a fan of steam engines. Those old steam tractors, such as the behemoth that was the 150hp Case steam tractor, could output so much torque that the metallurgy at the time could barely handle it. If I recall correctly, one of those 150hp tractors once towed 57,000lbs up a 13° incline without struggling too much. There's a great video of a steam tractor doing a tractor pull and not slowing down a bit, and the driver is making it throw plenty of sparks from the stack to put on a show. The most powerful design of steam engine uses steam on both sides of the pistons, meaning every stroke can be a power stroke. I'm not sure the name of that layout, but the consistent power means that like with electric cars, you can get the full torque from a standstill. Don't forget that steam trains also powered transport of people and goods all across the world for a long time. Steam engines are an awesome technology but I'm really not a fan of coal being burnt for any reason.

We (enthusiats) would LOVE to see Engine Simulator on Steam. Some items of note from this video: I'm not certain exactly how you modelled the fluid flow through the valve, but it appears at first glance to be linear. Even given the blowby that was intentionally added, the flow should follow typical square law characteristics. I realize that the entire thing was a bit of a quick job, but I wonder how difficult (time consuming) it would be to add flow effects (think CFD) at least at and around the valve assembly. I'm sure macro effects work just fine for the boiler and tube/inlet system, but the valve and cylinder tend to have some fairly complex fluid dynamics that drive them. I think the bit of designing the audio for a larger machine was a good choice stylistically, and ended up paying off in the end. All in all, three thumbs up.

honestly that sounds *extremely* close to the real desktop steam engines I've heard over the years. and the underlying physics engine should handle the more complicated steam engines found on locomotives, too. on loco steam, the piston is powered on both strokes (up and down in this case, but forward/back typically in a locomotive), the valve timing is controlled with the wheels indirectly through something called a Johnson bar. it's basically a channel that the valve linkage can be moved up and down in, closer to the middle, valves are open for less time (coupled with high throttle position, this makes the engine more efficient at higher speed), father to the edge of that channel, they're open for longer. in one direction, the timing moves the engine forward, in the other direciton, reverse. each side of the train is 90 degrees off, so that one piston is always in a power stroke, both being in TDC/BDC would make starting from a stop a pain.

The wheel does have mass and inertia already, otherwise the engine wouldn't have worked at all.

Whould have worked if the break pad is spring loaded and turns to the fly wheel the harder you break. This goes together with the wish to see heat, throttling valve and break levels. 5 days, I know, you explained, but at that level, you should polish it to your great standards. This would also allow bystanders to follow the mechanism and maneuvers much better.

nice. looks that the valve leaks too much, the engine was running fast with a "closed" valve. a valve percentage indicator and a rpm counter would be nice too :D

Just when I thought it couldn't get better. Since you already have the physics sim, I'd love to see if you could Stevenson valve gear or some other sort of locomotive valve gear with a double-acting piston.

Just something I’d mention. At 16:43, you showed the piston being able to start moving from awhile it was at the bottom of its stroke. Realistically this would be impossible with only steam providing force to the engine, as the steam would be just keeping the piston pressed down. This was one of the reasons flywheels are used, they act as a battery so that when the piston is at the bottom and top of its stroke, the rotational inertia of the heavy flywheel gives it enough power to go over that point and keep the cycle going, especially in a single stroke engine where the entire up stroke is unpowered, meaning the only energy acting on the engine is the flywheels. I don’t know if you programmed in a starter mechanic to move the flywheel to begin moving it, as you never mentioned one. It’s also why engines tended to have 2+ cylinders a bit more or less 180 degrees out of phase, so there would always be power applied when one cylinder hits the bottom/top of its stroke. And even more so in 2 stroke cylinders so both strokes are power strokes. But overall a very impressive job and a good launching point for more complex designs, I wonder if you could add a more advanced firebox, and tubes carrying hot air through the boiler giving more hot surface area, as seen in most steam locomotives since George stevensons rocket

I don't mention it but there is a control to spin the engine in order to get it moving (like a starter) which is what you see at that point in the video

Seems like you know all there is to a standard air heat engine cycle. Steam isn't much different, mathematically. If this was a big engine where steam temperature mattered, like a triple expansion engine or a turbine; or you were adding a condenser to the end, you'd need to read up stuff on saturated and superheated steam. I think if you know your way through a pressure-temperature curve to calculate a steam cycle, you have everything you need to go big! An ambitious project now: How about the Titanic's engines?
