@@gwseymour You can craft a small oil separator! It's just a vertical tank with deflectors and metal kitchen scrubbers which will act as a filter and allow the oil to condense, separating it from the steam. This will also allow you to reuse the oil.

[@gwseymour]

@@franciscofernandez5666 I appreciate your thoughts, but I have to respectfully disagree on multiple levels. The oil can't condense, because it hasn't evaporated in the first place. It is just particulate matter carried by the steam. As described, your separator would simply condense the steam, and oily water would be the result. Maybe I'm not picturing it correctly. Either way, ANY oil in the boiler water is ugly, as it causes bubble to cling together and surge....disrupting the boiler operation. Why bother if clean water is available?

Can a steam engine be used to create electric and clean water from stream water?

[@gwseymour]

You can certainly create electricity, and use stream water as your source. Discharge is usually dirty and oily,

[@jonacari4768]

Wouldnt it be more effective is you edit the intake valve en use that for your steam intake than the sparkplug intake? When the exhaust valve opens the steam for coming from you bougie Just goes out the exhaust port

[@gwseymour]

If you use the intake valve for the steam inlet, then you are limited to very low steam pressure, as it will push the valve open. Yes, this design "looses" some steam during the exhaust stroke, but the simple mechanical efficiency causes it to wind up super fast. RPM = HP.

[@johnbrown2890]

I believe that is an old lawn mower engine. He must be using the cam and valves because it appears to be a 4 stroke. Most steam engines deliver power with every stroke

I think you could get a much higher PSI if the water tubes over the fire were thinner and you had a lot more of them. Water could boil much more rapidly to get the RPM much higher with more force.

You could also capture the steam and re condense it to save water, also add the re condensed water to a preheater that wraps around the engine before being fed back to the boiler, effectively cooling the engine and preheating the water at the same time.

Could You instalo a pump with this kind of motor?

[@gwseymour]

[@deptsofhell6961]

The pressure is regulated how? The 70% lost energy in a gas powered engine is in the form of heat that could be used to power a boiler with exhaust heat after the cat that is actually hotter than a open flame which could be used as recaptured energy but it depends on torque output of the steam engine? A 1900's model Stanley Steamer had 800 FPT per 1 revolution which is insanely good power. How much power can that small engine produce?

[@gwseymour]

The pressure is regulated by how much fire you have going. Any excess is bled off by a hand valve or relief valve. The test boiler is not that efficient as seen, with much of the heat (open flame) escaping. Running as it is in the vid, I think it's doing about 2 hp. I believe the Stanley ran off around 500 psi, which will give you LOTS of power, no matter what application you use. Thanks for watching!

Just do a LOT of research on boiler design. The main thing, is that regardless of how thick or strong, there always has to be water behind the area of the boiler being heated.

How to make boiler please record the video

[@gwseymour]

I encourage people to do their own research before making a boiler. It's not really something you can cover in a short video.

Going back in time

[@gwseymour]

De volta para o Futuro!

[@miguelfernandez5559]

La idea es encontrar un nuevo combustible alternativo ... ahi esta volviendo a otras tecnologías antiguas

[@gwseymour]

Si. Gracias por ver.

Whats is the size and gauge of this boiler tubes ??

[@gwseymour]

They are 1-1/2 pipe. 1-1/2 ID, 1-7/8 OD

Nice boiler have you modified it at all in the last two years? It might benefit from a larger drum ontop like the Babcock Willcox design. It would allow for a natural convection to take place in the boiler. Also you can add a mud box on the bottom with with blowoff cock if you have hard water. Im going to make a much smaller water tube boiler as they seem pretty efficient to run for a stationary steam source.

[@gwseymour]

Thanks. Yes, I modified it a lot. That first vid was just a test, and wasn't even meant to be "public", but folks liked it so I left it up. I'm actually building a newer one in the shape of an "A", with a larger steam drum. I like water tubes for the safety aspect. Thanks for watching!

@@gwseymour your first test boiler was so simple looking and worked great considering it was just some water tubes and some burning twigs and no insulating shell yet. What a great video indeed, glad you kept it up.

[@gwseymour]

Thanks! Check out the turbine if you wish (link in the description)

Why u not change phase of steam and reuse as hot water it will decrease fuel.

[@gwseymour]

The steam isn't clean. It picks up a residual amount of oil passing through the engine. Thanks for watching!

[@kalikiller1771]

Is that a modified gas engine?

[@kalikiller1771]

Nevermind found the conversion series

[@gwseymour]

Yes

[@gwseymour]

There should be a link in the upper part of the vid. Or just look at my channel. Thanks!

[@powerfarmer]

pretty cool! - Idea: Do it with an impactdriver + caralternator 12 V ..

[@gwseymour]

Vid soon with instructions and alternator. Thanks!

E se em vez de carvão ou lenha pra gerar calor vc usar, uma bateria em uma placa solar ficaria 100% limpo

[@gwseymour]

O fogo está sempre disponível. Obrigado por assistir!

Please make a detail video

[@nonamecieso9506]

Was that a motorcycle engine?

[@gwseymour]

It's a Predator 212

What if you add a superheating system which uses induction heating to dry the steam?

[@gwseymour]

Sure.... there is always room for improvement. This was just a fun, basic engine.

[@jonathanschrader7881]

So kool ... Pretty amazing 👍

[@syedwaleedahmedshah8089]

What is the length of your tubes

[@gwseymour]

About 2 ft

[@adrianoalvarado2199]

En q parte le pusiste la coneccion de vapor al cilindro no se ve bien

[@gwseymour]

El vapor se inyecta a través del orificio de la bujía.

[@gwseymour]

Gracias por ver

[@FalconDeTiktok_]

C'est pas compliqué à fabriquer ?

[@gwseymour]

Il y a un lien vers les instructions dans la vidéo.
