That was nice! I knew you would do it! An engine just isn't an engine until it is put to work somehow. I'll bet that little generator would power up a miniature Christmas tree with LED lamps. That poor little walking beam engine sounds like it has a blow by problem. Fun to watch, though. Thanks for sharing!

Try a lighter back ground. Hard to see details with the dark background. 😊

The grasshopper beam steam engine is designed for low RPM and high torque, so gears or a pulley could speed up the output RPM. Switch the lamp to allow the engine to gain RPM before turning it on. And the burner seems to be weak.

Nice! Just ordered to test it on my Wilesco, I hope it has enough umpf.

Your steam engine could still work, you just need a fuel that burns hotter. Jellied or crystalized alcohol are often used in such toys in the US.

I think the burner it currently has does not put out enough heat.

8:17 there is something going on with your steam engine. Way to much steam is escaping from somewhere.

Probably the gear ratio?
@emil.honganmaki5461Ай бұрын
I think I should have waited for the pressure in the steam engine to rise, i.e. for the safety valve to open.

It's cute but rather useless seeing as you have to supply extra parts to make it work.
