I have a tiny oscillating engine made by an elderly model engineer, about 1/10th the size of your one Laurie. I have only ever run it on compressed air and due to the tiny surface area of the piston, it needs at least 75 PSI, at which point it runs at about 2000 RPM.

It is a Teenie Weenie Steamie...😊

Just to let you know Lawrie - we sold the website out

Try filling the water chamber with very cold water, measuring how much you put in until you think it's 2/3 full. Continue until condensation shows you when the chamber is actually 2/3 full. Use that measurement for the next fills. Love your channel.

I am surprised other than Mamod that no one else has decided to bring out some EU/UK/US safety specified little engines like this. This engine if it had the correct safety items like a proper safety valve and sight glass on the boiler would be excellent.

@JSmith19858 Месяц назад

That safety valve meets all the regs and a boiler that size doesn't need a sight glass. The only place it falls down is being bolted together

Hornby produced a fully working live steam mallard in 1:76 scale, you gotta get one. These are amazing little replicas

@capmodesty 2 месяца назад

If Laurie does go for one he should seek out the live steam owners club, saw them at Doncaster and the information they were able to give was way ahead of what Hornby's marketing team put out

So what are you going to power with it??? A nice flat belt and........???

@timberpony1814 Месяц назад

There's a video online of someone putting liquid nitrogen into a Hero engine and letting it run out of control until the safety valve bursts. There's also a video of a Lego steam engine converted to run on a bottle of liquid nitrogen that it carries on its back. I wonder if you own any small steam engines that you'd be willing to pour liquid nitrogen into to see how they withstand the rapid expansion of liquid nitrogen within their boilers.

@H_chapman17 2 месяца назад

I like it, but could you attach a belt on the fly wheel to power something?

@Sohave 3 месяца назад

I wonder if this can run on a tea light, The flame is a lot smaller but perhaps given some extra time to heat the water it could work.

@lightcycler4806 3 месяца назад

remaining water - can you just weigh the whole thing empty to know how much water is inside?

@PeterJewell2 3 месяца назад

Well, you can do just that with gas bottles, so you should be able to with this if you have accurate-enough scales handy Good idea.

@lmm 3 месяца назад

That's not a bad idea

@JSmith19858 Месяц назад

As I've commented under every steam engine video you've made, boiler that size don't need a sight glass. Even given you the exact sections of the regs to look at and you keep trotting it out

The Wilesco D1 is very smiliar to this engine and has no sight glass either…

@lmm 3 месяца назад

That's true. Must be a something that only comes in when it gets to 'standard' Mamod boiler size

@thecrocandsweepshow611 3 месяца назад

Serious question how much is it to learn to drive a steam locomotive? Cannot find anything on Google.

@lmm 3 месяца назад

Driving an engine is easy. Driving it well is an artform. The roll of the driver on heritage railways today is much more than just driving though

@paulhorn2665 3 месяца назад

I think the Wilesco D2 steam engine is the better looking and better designed engine.

@jojo_318 2 месяца назад

No, a steam engine can be bought in europe without the glass or a safety valve. Look at the Wilesco D2.

@CrowArchLane 3 месяца назад

Laurie do you think you'll be heading to the 2025 Great Dorset Steamfair? Edit: also re figuring out the water in the boiler. Could you use a tooth-pick as a dipstick?

@bentullett6068 3 месяца назад

Is it returning as the last few years its been cancelled, apparently due to circumstances.

@CrowArchLane 3 месяца назад

@@bentullett6068they're not confirming anything yet, but I remain hopeful!

@bentullett6068 3 месяца назад

@CrowArchLane I know that the Welland Steam fair isn't far away date wise in Worcestershire.
