COMPLETING A STUART TRIPLE EXPANSION ENGINE - PART #52

[@ilfarmboy]

glad you didn't get hurt when the hose gave out

Great Video! You are a Doctor of Mechanics.

[@keithappleton]

Thank you - very kind }:-)))

I guess, in your favour is having one exceptionally well machined Stuart triple to replicate parts from. They do run very nicely when operating as they should. Love the last section of your upload running on steam.

[@keithappleton]

Couldn't agree more!

Opps, I see that the intermediate set are OK, sorry. Love your show.

[@laudennn]

probably a 60/120fps or higher setting for real slow motion capture on the camera

[@keithappleton]

Thank you for your advice. I don't really have the time to mess with the camera settings as I am usually too busy actually doing the jobs that you see me doing. I do however know what you mean though, as I have been a professional Videographer since the late 1980s and I currently shoot in 50p as I live in England . . . . .

What a beautiful engine, hope you had a great christmess and have a wonderful new year. It is tickling in my fingers of building such an engine

[@keithappleton]

Happy new year! - the "Christmess" was indeed messy at the dinner table with my family, which includes my 2 baby Granddaughters. }:-)))

You are quite a good steam technician!! I only see 3 eccentrics, but you are going to make 4 could you please explain?

[@keithappleton]

In the end I only needed to make one, please watch the rest of the series.

Keith, when you use Viton O-rings instead of cast iron piston rings in your steam engines, how do they hold up to steam? Do they break down due to the heat?

[@keithappleton]

I don't use Viton, I use steam grade Silicone O Rings. They seem to work fine.

[@bobvines00]

@@keithappleton Thanks for reminding me of the steam grade O-rings!
