Thanks again Ron, I have been watching you for quite a few years love the heated driveway, gun range, and your shop I would like to thank you for all, that you have created space for me to learn so much.
It always amazes me when I see these videos of a product, when you go to the link they never have them in stock - I guess the videos work! It's a nifty looking thing though and not too expensive, especially with the discount.
Seems like you could be screwed if you don't have tiny engraving bits and a rotary tool. The whole thing relies on two tiny nozzles that might not be cut properly
Sharp knife, edge of a hacksaw blade, small file or ask your pet mouse to chew on it. :-) Alternately… activate Banggood’s refund or replacement policy and get a new one.
Hi,Ron. Your video demos are very interesting and informative. I do wonder why they have bothered trying to make the 2 steam outlet ports into a crescent shape. I would think that 2 straight line cutouts set at an angle to the periphery would work perfectly well and be far less complicated to machine.
If you go to the Banggood listing... then the photo of all the pieces laid out. Zoom in on this disk and you will see they had two straight line with a triangular section at the end. Then changed it for some reason.
This is a variant of the first steam engine in the world, invented by the Greek engineer Heron of Alexandria in the 1st century BC. It would be very interesting to put alcohol or even gasoline inside the ellipsoid instead of distilled water. Thus, when it starts to rotate, it will emit jets of hot fuel vapor that will catch fire from the flame below, creating an interesting visual effect ... Attention, do not try this in the house but only outside, in an area of concrete where nothing can catch fire ... Otherwise it can become a big fire danger ...
