Your Channel/Videos is so underrated. Very fun and informative to watch!

[@georgeblack589]

Fun project! I always enjoy your videos, you always have a creative solution to thorny problems. You can get much better performance from your engine if you lubricate it. Steam engines used hydrophilic oils that would actually be carried by the steam into the cylinders. If I recall correctly, animal fats (tallow) are particularly suited. The engine will also perform poorly when cold and uninsulated. You'll lose tons of power because it's all used up when the steam condenses back into water in the cold cylinders. Harvesting more of the steam's energy as it expands gives you the most efficiency (compound engines do this using cylinders of varying bores, high pressure cylinders have smaller bores than low pressure cylinders after them).

[@KuletXCore]

2:42 goddamn this takes me back. Good ol' ASDFMovie

[@luizfigueira1008]

you can transform a fog machine to make high pressure steam. I already put instead of fog liquid, water. I've already tried this and it really works because the machine has a mini water pump that generates a considerable pressure and when the liquid goes to the heater it boils instantly which almost triples the original pressure

[@volvo09]

Just use distilled water if you do this,. Or you'll clog your boiler tube with minerals.

[@astratiger1]

You are using it like a flash boiler.

[@JWQweqOPDH]

Fluid doesn't flow to higher pressures. For example, in a liquid rocket the fuel pumps generate all the pressure of the exhaust, the combustion in the combustion chamber just increases volumetric flow rate.

[@Abnorlmally]

neat

[@Fanwithnblades]

How?

[@That_One_Guy_In_A_Band]

Hi, steam locomotive engineer here, and I noticed that while your steam engine does work, it's quite inefficient, and has some potentially fatal errors. First of all, there's water in the cylinder, and this comes from using saturated steam. You could superheat the steam if you wanted, but the most simple solution is to add what are known as drain cocks to the cylinder. Basically, they're valves that you open for the first few strokes of the cycle, to allow the water to drain out. Also, the valve and it's timing, while useful for a simple engine, could benefit from being adjustable. Something like Walschaerts valve gear or Baker valve gear, with a "cutoff" to allow variation in the valve timing, and making the engine more efficient. Also, it seems to leak steam everywhere... I don't have a solution for that one, so just go with your gut on that problem. One thing I'd definitely suggest is getting a dedicated model boiler, like a Wilesco or a Mamod unit. Hope this helps!

[@DeeEhm]

I also noticed that there were no piston rings on the piston. With the heated steam, I'm wondering how much blowby he was getting with everything expanding. Though the cylinder doesn't seem to hold much pressure so rings would pose an issue. You would need to solve the issue with containing pressure or design a piston that uses a lubricant as a seal rather than a mechanical seal. Like the rocket engine, you should try to measure useful work of this engine and then tune it as Mike G suggests.
