you can transform a fog machine to make high pressure steam. I already put instead of fog liquid, water.

[@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.

for anyone who really wants to find out about how steam engines work heres some differences between this engiene and a normal stream engine: 1. normally a steam engine has a much thinner piston 2. that design of piston is designed to be used with a o-ring 3. most steam engine will not use the flywheel for the valve timing. early steam engines used a round peice with and eccentric hole. later engienes used complicated systems that would take far too Long to explain in a comment. 4. most stream engines will use a slide valve and a steam chest. the steam chest is filled with steam/air and the slide valve moves to allow steam/air to flow into one port that is uncovered and connects the other Port to the exhaust hole. 5. alot of engienes use crossheads and crosshead guides to keep the piston rod from bending ofcourse there are exceptions however this is true for the majority of engienes

Look up the Doble steam cars. They generated steam in about 90 seconds by using a containment vessel that used copper tubes that were heated up. Basically instead of boiling a large amount of water at once Doble steam cars flash boiled small amounts of water quickly. The idea was to have the water pass through the tubes and have the heat of gasoline heat up the tubes and turn the water to superheated steam. Jay Leno explains this.

I also would like to see this steam engine improved. As many other comments suggest, O-rings would be an automatic improvement, especially with the low pressures you're working with. Too much pressure is leaking out of both the piston chambers and the valve. At 3-4 times the pressure, waste wouldn't be such a big deal, but losing half of such a small input is kindof rough lol. Friction would be a big problem with o rings so it might necessitate looking at alternative seals... Like in modern engines, solid piston rings are a thing so 3d printing a "soft spring" could do better than a rubber ring in theory. Plus it'd center the piston up so less jiggle would be present. Another change could be to move the valve onto a lower portion of the cylinder to help evacuate condensed water while maintaining visibility for the sweet transparency effect to be maintained.

video idea: could you try and use the jet steam turbine to make a boat that is powered by it or maybe a rocket-powered boat?

Great video. You can use loctite - an anaerobic glue - to bind materials and release them later using acetone. I would love to see a 3d oiler can+brush design that is non magnetic and can't spill a drop if it is dropped!

It's always nice to see when You build an engine that works pretty much as expected.

Glass for a whoosh bottle. A 'working' steam engine from 3d printed parts, nice job.

[@MrGTAfan93]

I would love to see some type of RC vehicle with a jet or steam engine!

🤖Please Integza, make a documentary about rocket's engine or maybe about first 3d printers(like something about its patent ).You have made videos with some really funny animation in the past, so I would love a video like this.Hope I'm not the only one . Love your videos , thank you.🤖❤

Idea for a future video: You should build a turbine/generator and use it to charge your phone or power a Raspberry Pi 😄

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).

I think it would be awesome to build a 3D printed sterling engine!

[@gohunt001-5]

I think he already has, actually!

[@TheForgottenVoid]

Integza always giving us another high quality video.

[@crazyfireworknutjob7016]

Video idea: re configure the steam engine with o rings for better seals and use dry ice in water for a propulsion gas it will work greatly

[@Spook_Boi]

never even thought of[ using dry ice! big brain plays

[@pezzygamez402]

video idea: you should 3d print an arm that freezes tomatoes, throws them at a backboard, and falls into a 3d printed truck bed that drives off of a table and into a trash can.
