  • @Jahee-Official
    @Jahee-Official Год назад +2

    Not sure how serious you want to get with this setup. But you could most likely get massive improvements in at least runtime, if you would change the exhaust flow. Like, weld some exhaust tubes onto the boiler. Because now, you're using only a small contact area. Making the (hot) exhaust gasses pass along the sides of the boiler, would heat up the water faster and you'd be extracting more heat. You could also look into insulating the boiler some more.
    Sidenote: didn't see a blow-off valve?

    I have often thought about using superheated water injection to make a steam engine.
    So for a 100cc engine, injecting 1cc of water gives 1000cc steam so 10 bar pressure at full stroke.
    So 175c theoretical without losses.
    I know, the head and injector have to be kept at about the 150-200 to be effective but it’s still a fun idea, low pressure water feed at 150psi and injector pump of 1cc at anything higher.

    • @DktheWelder

  • @Echo-mo6nu
    @Echo-mo6nu Год назад +1

    This is just a suggestion. If you can before you send steam into the motor, Have a pipe that runs from the delivery pipe and back through the fire, that should heat up the saturated steam in to unsaturated steam or "super heated steam" creating more thermal yield thus creating more power and if you want you could collect the escaping steam and send it back into the boiler fully recycling all the steam used with a better out come with more power. Adding insulation around the boiler itself would allow the boiler to contain most of the head being generated from the fire below, and a safety valve would keep it from exploding.

    • @DktheWelder
      @DktheWelder  Год назад +3

      I thinking of building a better version with some actual effort put into it and make a proper boiler as you say , and the safety valve haha like everyone is saying , it’s not as dangerous as you think the pressure doesn’t just keep rising it needs to get really hot and then it rises slowly and predictable I learnt alot doing this , but I will put pressure relief in next time

    If you add an exhaust pipe to the burner and route exhaust steam from the engine into/through it, it will create draft and pull more fresh air for the fire. Basically a steam-era turbo charger, just like how trains used to do it!
    As a side note, if you mowed an overgrown lot, gathered cut grass, dried it, and pressed it into pellets, would that be enough fuel to cut the grass again once it grew out? Highly doubt it, but would have been neat if it was.

    Interesting! If you want a powerful and controllable burner, check out some of mine. You may be able to take the steam from the exhaust and use that to fan up the fire even if it is by vaccuming more oxygen into the fire through a venturi.
    Laying the boiler bottle on it's side may give more surface area especially if you welded a flue through the middle to give more surface area.

    use a monotube boiler, its just.... safer. hands down, safer....
    a roll of 1/4" copper from the plumbing shop. a decent high pressure pump. something like... the pump off a hydraulic jack ;)
    just wack it on a cam off the crank, with a lil hand lever to start with, and bleed the pressure off before the boiler for the throttle...
    a cup of water inside at best, they just go "pffft" if they leak..
    rocket stove, much better fire. more heat...
    now, a really neat thing would be throwing a few multi row oil coolers onto the exhaust, and keeping the shroud/fan.... try condensing.
    and then, for extra complexity.... the fan is blowing the fire.

      It still had water , my boiler just wasn’t keeping up. One litre of water gives 1600 litres of steam ! Pretty crazy aye

    • @DktheWelder
      @DktheWelder  Год назад

      Yeah it is more efficient to run it through the intake and have double lobe cams for both. A real steam engine is like a 1 stroke so maybe feeding pressure into the crank might work
