My First Steam Engine

[devrimcamoglu]

Hello Everyone. In spite of it finished months ago, I get around to publish this project just now. I found this project on internet forums. (I don't remember which one is that, but project link is: http://www.john-tom.com/MyPlans/Steam Engines/PopMechanicsEngine1963.pdf)

Technical Drawings and Finished project Photo:

Firstly I started this project by converting unit system withworth to metric. Then I tought engine is little elementary project for kids and decided to build up large scale. As you can see, project consists of mixed production techniques like that welding sheet metals and machining solid metals.

Because of my facilities, I had to make this project by machining only solid metals. Therefore engine's view changed a little bit. (Above) That single acting engine is working properly and has nice sound but I have to say it has not enough force to drive any other devices like dynamo for producing electricity. Probably eccentric and piston shaft's gaskets not good. I did'nt find graphite gaskets for model engines in Turkey and I made gaskets from packthreads with greasing.

I hope you enjoy that engine, Cheers,

Hi, no bad work, the next project will be a twin double acting steam engine?

Good luck with your next one.

Thanks for your nice comments guys. Swifty, how did you embed video from youtube ? I seeked on hmem forums and I did everything but didn't success. Could you please write code from your thread ?

When I found the video on YouTube, I just copied and pasted the link in the bar at the top (not sure what the correct term for the bar is). I can't paste the link without it reverting to the video.

The address you posted was for a full screen embed but if you post the address from a normal youtube page it should auto insert the video into your post.

I have deleted the first half of the address so it doesn't insert (everything up to the youtube bit) but here is the last half of the correct youtube address for your video :
