RC Live Steam Turbine Car Prototype "The Dart"

[@ManualdoMotorStirling]

Congratulations for such dedication, the sound the engine produces is similar to a jet engine. Very good indeed and with good power. Greetings from Brazil, Leandro Wagner.

[@XTrBass]

Eine der besten Konstruktionen, die ich bisher überhaupt gesehen habe!

[@isaacharry493]

We're the steam comes out from the exhaust you can put a little tank to catch all the water and re use the water that would make it run for a long time

[@MrKDB001]

Isaac Harry that is called a condenser. It is always the last stage of the turbine on a saltwater steamship and often on a freshwater steamship. In freshwater they have the option of doing without it and just getting more out of the river of course they have to clean the boiler out every time. the biggest advantage of having a condenser stage is that the water you collect is already hot, just below boiling. This is saves fuel.

[@Genius_at_Work]

It also inproves the power and efficiency of the Turbine by increasing the pressure and temperature drop

[@scottykify]

Love it! Amazing machines u build, cant wait to see this turbine car drive!

[@peterschiller2451]

Thanks for the demonstration. A turbine is more efficient as a piston. To be perfect you should close the circuit, so you dont loose steam/water.

[@DoNotPushHere]

My sincere good luck on the running test. This engine looks amazing! Hope it reaches 20kph from those empty 35!

[@kehmristorm8568]

This youtube is my childhood its sad to see its been inactive for 5 years now

[@prallplatte]

maybee i´ll be back some times... :-)

[@Mellotronaic]

Revving up it reminded me of the Super Mario Kart engine sound LOL

[@tamiyaclodbuster]

you own allot of different rcs like a tamiya highlift ive seen the 3 speed tranny on one of your creations and a driveshaft in this one your a rc genius i want to make things like you do because then you can look at it and say i built that your crazy and i love it ill keep watching if you keep making videos

[@Citroable]

The sound and smoke is F0kin amazing!

[@jannekrusing]

YES!! Finally a new prallplatte video! This lokks to be awsome as allways. Nice job!

[@BeebopConnard]

Beautiful sound :D Hope it will reach 35 kmh

[@ufoengines]

Very Cool! Planning a steam turbo electric drive and time?

[@1981dasimpson]

using a electronic valve and a centrifugal clutch might be a better drive option then your only using the steam when needed for the drive

[@macsogandares8383]

A transmission of some sort would help a lot, for when you start testing the thing on the ground.

[@sttsoukalas]

This is great,fantastic,prallplatte can you please tell me do you have steam return to the boiler or do you have a safety low level water cut off for the burner. I mean how do you know the boiler still has water inside and it wont melt.

[@BIGFOOT-ENT.]

I'm so jealous , I want to work with this subject or know everything about it as a hobby

[@fastdrive55]

Wow. Fast rotating axles without any cover. Take the mother in law for a ride :-)

[@joelyboyblue]

This is brilliant, scale up &build a real one

[@henry2008kim]

Wonderful! It seems you have yet to install provisions for condensing those steam back into the boiler? Eventually water will all evaporate.

[@DoNotPushHere]

And the sound is so...thrilling! What about tinnitus? What's the problem with it?

[@128pro]

Schöne Turbine! Ich find deine Fahrzeuge echt Klasse! Was für eine Kupplung hasst du jetzt verwendet? Selbstgebaut oder gekauft? Würde mich sehr interessieren. Weißt du wie viele Upm die Turbine läuft? Echt super Video! Mfg

[@chp656]

Very nice.It is a great work.

[@ChaosOptional]

Wow - der Sound ist so crass! Weiter so!

[@mikego18753]

How about another vid of the little car&isobot? Cheers. P. S. Soon.lol.

[@Magician2256]

Looks sweet but i have to ask and i might have asked this in an earlier vid but do you build these turbines and stuff by hand or buy it somewhere. Also, What would be the use of this sweet car? xD

[@TheIndustrialphreak]

I love the sound of a turbine spooling up, what is the power output and can it be adapted to a bicycle?

[@prallplatte]

Mike Klegin less than 0,01 ps. no bike power....

[@TheIndustrialphreak]

I wonder how big of a turbine I would need for usable bicycle power.

[@prallplatte]

Mike Klegin the size of the turbine is less important. it depends on the pressure and volume that you can input.

[@TheIndustrialphreak]

i kinda figured that, trying to figure out how to build a legal and safe boiler for a bicycle. I was thinking about repurposing one of those hotts power washers on a scaled up motorcycle frame awhile ago.

[@ttamage]

Mike Klegin that would be awesome a steam turbine motorcycle.. it would probably be more efficient and faster with less weight than a car.

[@vsci79]

1:13 in the voice of Captain Picard... Engage! Thumbs up

[@GoingtoHecq]

I would think a condenser would be useful, possibly even beneficial to the power (slightly under perfect theoretical conditions). Anyways itvs not often that someone has a viable steam engine.

[@flaxmo]

ganz schön geiles zeug was du da baust!!!

[@NOBOX7]

so awesome , love it

[@jackdawson4519]

Real nice interensting video

[@aserta]

Looks awesome.

[@pengashwebb0121]

Thats brilliant! is the clutch custom?

[@billkratzer1]

only 10 minutes per boiler-full of water ? perhaps preheat and a small injection pump to recover some energy and extend power cycle?

[@maddox0110]

A condensor should remedy the lack of water . But a condensor ain't small or light.

[@339492]

love the clutch

[@Maeger]

meine fresse was ein geiles teil ... und der gartenzaun sit so deutsch:P herlich ^^

[@128pro]

Vielen Dank für die Antwort!

[@battonfive]

out of curiosity is it able to run off glow fuel aka Nitro? it seems the power to energy density ratio is pretty much the same but it might last a bit longer :-)

[@TheCuriousOrbs]

beautifully made... What is your fuel source though. Not entirely clear from the video (or maybe I missed it)

[@prallplatte]

thanks, it´s butane gas

[@laurispiksis6144]

well i like it but you could make a better baseplate on it it looks terable with all the fancy boilers and clutch system

[@NOBOX7]

you need a good piston engine bro , turbines are way inefficient on any thing under 400 hp they suck up to much steam and don't unleash the expanding power

[@MortisIlluminare]

Is that a some kind of Tesla turbine or just usual bladed turbine?

[@boinkboink1968]

At the start it sounds like Airwolf hovering.

[@snailmr2turbo]

So cool!

[@xKmotx]

Awesome!! :))

[@crasssy1]

Turbine is so much better than pistons!!!

[@thestuffz]

WOW!!

[@mbplove]

Holy shit that's amazing

[@douro20]

Is that a Regner Kompakt boiler?

[@ThunderDivine]

lol that's awesome!

[@mooniedizzel6443]

Hello, vary nice job. Can I ask where did you get the clutch at?

[@prallplatte]

Thank you! The clutch is from a 1:16 RC Tamiya Tank, i think it was a Leopard.

[@mooniedizzel6443]

@@prallplatte Thank you, I noticed right after a asked. You ever think about trying a differential with a mechanical break on one end. I have a steam boat and I was going to try with a Stuart Sun on my next.

[@prallplatte]

I dont see the sense of a differential, sorry, but nevertheless i wish you much luck with the stuart sun- its a real monster-steam-eater.

[@mooniedizzel6443]

@@prallplatte It would make sense to use a mechanical brakes instead of a clutch. You said your self the clutch sucks. Guess it’s over your head. Thank you wish you the best.

[@panzhou2803]

the sound beats all fuel engines‘

[@crazyl2536]

I hear pistons... Where are they located? Awesome machine!

[@prallplatte]

+Lester Rienhart No Pistons. A real Turbine.

[@harrier331]

hi, what pressure gauge did you use?

[@combatdigiq]

OH YEAH ! :D

[@wiscokiddd]

Okay where did you get a turbine that size. I need one for a client?

[@hansemist]

Why not build a steam turbine locomotive?

[@randomguy9898]

that clutch is from the old tamiya tanks right?

[@prallplatte]

yes, and its sucking. to mutch weight....

[@TheDave570]

***** watch jay leno's garage. weight is no problem for steam !!!!

[@battonfive]

TheDave570 true, for the extra weight compared to extra energy required to over come the additional friction that additional weight adds, its a more than reasonable trade :-) weight always adds to traction to offset its demand for more power :-D makes me wonder if a second story or side tanks for additional water capacity would justify the means :-) Spit balling here, I don't have a clue about steam...

[@Fradias11]

Can it accelerate and deccelerate or does it reach a certain rpm and then it's just clutch in or clutch out?

[@prallplatte]

Its to weak to accelerate the car.

[@zekayman]

You may get some descent RPMs but this thing probably has very negligible torque.

[@macsogandares8383]

Well, with this current setup, yes. He could gear it down to increase the torque, or build the turbine a little differently- kind of like increasing the throw on an engine.

[@battonfive]

Mac Sogandares yep refinement and tweaking would give this more than enough torque :-) tis early days

[@joelyboyblue]

What's firing your boiler

[@mikego18753]

Nice.

[@entrelive]

sound look like JetTurbine

[@kamilczaplicki9518]

can you draw the clutch scheme? thanks

[@monster12389]

I want that engine on my long board

[@turutzi]

Man ich will auch solche Reifen wo hast du die her?

[@yanikivanov]

this is the future... not steam stupid piston .. but steam turbine powered vehicles TRUCKS... bye bye diesel

[@ashleymaroc4902]

Yeh , Turbinia was the first steam turbine-powered steamship.And that was built in 1894. Today steam turbines ,with the exception of nuclear is a very inefficient technology because the vast majority of the energy in the steam is not powered down the shaft .But dumped in the condenser . A diesel engine in this regard is far more thermal efficient

[@Friedrich-Wilhelm-1980]

Ashley Maroc agreed turbines are wastfull

[@maddox0110]

Ashley Maroc Oh, that is why most fossile fueled powerplants are wasting the energy with steam turbine technology? And of course, most nuclear powerplants operate at a lower temperature and pressure than their fossile fueled counterparts. Just to play it more safe.

[@ashleymaroc4902]

Yeh they are most of the energy is dumped though the condenser

[@Friedrich-Wilhelm-1980]

maddox0110 it's not wasteful for power generation that needs high RPMs its wasteful as a propellant that needs high torque

[@ZnnXcYu]
