Good work man you do a very good job
I liked it .. you have to keep it up and develop
I see something in you
Do not stop
It’s awesome to see someone make stuff with simple tools... So many people on RUclips have top of the line expensive toys I could never afford!. This video has also given me a better appreciation for all the hard work it takes to make a functional steam engine.
That is a beautiful repair job.
You are very talented to build
this from scrap, or excess materials.
This is how the first steam plants were made 200 years ago.
Machinists (like me) want to machine
every thing from castings on a mill or lathe.
I see much skilled hand work on the engine as well.
It puts many in their place.
Thanks for the video.

I've been calculating on boilers in school for 1 years, looked at the boilers on a couple of powerplants (up to 370MWe) and controlled a 'small' boiler with 2m^3 water. Your boiler works on exactly the same way as the bigger ones. The only difference is that the bigger boilers got a deionizing facility. You got the same safety systems and everything. Awesome boiler!
I tinker and build in my workshop and am missing a lot of tools. I wanted to call myself an amateur tinkerer. But i see i have along way to go. Fantastic work. Might try to build one myself. Cant believe you built it at 16. so impressed
Simple Mechanical Engineering at its finest....Good Work...
Hi you preserve sir George Stephenson's invention good Job
Man
This is amazing! It just goes to show you don't need lots of expensive tools to make amazing stuff. Boilers are hard to make!
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
Really enjoyed your video .always made my boilers from copper or even stainless steel .
Monumental piece of work.
Congratulations!
There are some channels on RUclips, You find from time to time, that makes You stop all other activities and watch the whole content. It happens to me once a Year and 2019 is checked off on the firts day. Great videos, keep up the good work. I hope some day I will have place and time to tinker around like You do.
Thank you so much for making my first day of the year start with the nicest comment!
Buen trabajo. volviste a 150 años atras...jaja nesecitamos Tecnología ..like
Inspiring! This was fascinating and therapeutic to watch. Now I want to learn how to weld. Excellent.
Impressive work! Subscribing and thumbing up are a must. More people need to see this guy's channel. Thank you for sharing!
THAT WAS AWESOME ,
Excellent
Tig welding anything that has been galvanised is a nightmare. Burning off the zinc leaves loads of crap that will come out in the weld pool. You need to thoroughly grind down to clean metal anywhere the weld pool will touch. Otherwise use something like a 1.6mm 6013 electrode to weld it or at least try and even if it goes bad cos tiny stick welding is tricky the slag pulls a lof the contamination into it so you can knock it off, grind it back down and go over with another welding process.
You`re applying pressurized water in it, how come it doesn`t goes trough together with the steam?
It's pumped in at the bottom.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy I never thought that a small fire could build up pressure like that! Thank you for sharing!
Very interesting to see a steel fire tube boiler in this size. Most locomotive boilers that I have seen are copper, silver soldered. Maar, ja het was erg interessant en zeker goedkoper in staal.
In Europe, locomotive boilers were manufactured using the whole-steel boiling technique.
Peter, yes of course full size locos are all steel boilers, I refer to 5" gauge model locos and the like that are copper boilers.
Yes it is rare to see boilers of such small scale not made from copper,mostly because there's no advantage to steel on low pressure boilers of this size(aside from cost) and a whole lot of disadvantages,namely corrosion.Here in Australia you only see steel boilers on rather large loco's and they tend to run higher pressures than are allowed on the copper constructed boilers, so like 150+ PSI which also requires a boiler ticket to legally operate.Here if you want to run a boiler in public it has to be certified,built using specific materials and inspected regularly.Back in yee olden days there was (at least firebox anyway,possibly entire boilers) full size locomotives running copper,but that was a long time ago! It is still interesting to see this cute little boiler though, even if its not the way i would go about it myself!
Cool man!!
Since finding this video/channel I've rewatched it so many times its just amazing i love it
how is it holding up
cheers mate I look forward to seeing more
Thank you so much for all the watching!! The steam engine is ok but I don't run that much. I'm working on a new one, have you seen my latest video? ruclips.net/video/dOo3ZALd6po/видео.html

Nice wood boiler experiment sir.
It's coal fired but thanks! 😉
The whistle on top of the smokestack looks like the off a cartoon.
Yes it is based on the disney steam whistle in Tugboat Mickey etc. Thanks for noticing!
more videos on this please , it is like what my hobby is so I subbed
Yes I'm working on it. 😉
Could you break this down to joules per log/ml of water?
What do you mean with log?
Will your boiler and engine push boat with two people and some baggage up a river?
As long as the river doesn't flow, it will. 🤔
This channel deserves many more subscribers :)
btw, what is the approximate power of this engine?
Thank you so much!! It has a torque of about 3.75 Nm on the crankshaft. Don't know the hp yet butt I'm going to measure that to.
Hi, is a typical fire extinguisher good for the main body of the boiler? The wall thickness is around 1,5mm
I think it's a bit thin. Your boiler will corrode though quite fast and start leaking. No good.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy ah yeah, maybe you're right, well, thanks for reply and I'll search for something else to make a boiler out of it
Very nice 👍

EXELENTE
Bonne année à toi et la santé un bonjour de France !!!!!
Merci et bonne année aussi!!!!!
Congratulations - you deserve a lot more 👍
Can you please tell me
1- working pressure
2- what safety valves used and release pressure
3- does your engine have a lead melt plug
Thanks
That's pretty cool I love steam power that is awesome I like how it has a bevel gear drive to the propeller I have a suggestion for you though figure out a way to put a better valve gear to where you can adjust the valve timing and make it more efficient and more powerful like a Stephenson valve gear it uses eccentrics peace out have a great day
Thanks!! Yes I no but I made this steam engine when I was 14 years old (20 years ago) and back then I had no good sources of information of how it works. So I'm kind of attached to how it is now. Thanks for the suggestion though! 👍
The DIY Science Guy oh I love your steam engine I wish I could build one myself I think you should hook up a generator to that little steam engine to produce electricity for an emergency cell phone charger so say like the grid goes down and you need a charge something you can use your little steam engine to turn a generator to charge a battery Bank peace out man good luck in all your endeavors but yeah I think I Stephenson valve gear with the eccentrics would be the easiest for you to build and if you make it we're at has an adjustable cut off that's team terminology in internal combustion criminology it's known as variable valve timing so once you get your steam engine up and running and you get the masses of the machine spinning you can cut down how much steam goes into your piston steam expands a lot so a little packet of steam will push and expand a lot more than you think so what's a way to conserve energy look up steam locomotives and their valve gears and their boilers they have the most efficient boiler of any machine because it has to create a lot of volume up steam also another suggestion have the exhaust from your engine blow out the exhaust stack I don't know if you have it that way if you don't what that does is it creates a draft like a Bellows and sucks more air into the fire very interesting video I loved it peace out have a great day
Thanks! Yes I'm going to ad a generator in the future. The exhaust steam is going out the chimney to enhance the fire already. Thanks for the suggestions!
Hello, very nice video! Are there any plans for this cauldron? Does the boiler consist of a large pipe? What material is the boiler made of? Did you build this water pump yourself and if so, how? Have a nice evening!
Thanks! I designed all of it myself yes it's a large steel pipe. I have no drawings available yet, sorry.
Hello Garfields, we are the manufacturer of steam boiler that you are in need, if you have any problem, pls add my Whatsapp: 0086 13386456156 so I can send more running vedios to you, tks
Nice one. Now build a steam injector.
Thanks! That is definitely something I like to make in the future! Thank for the suggestion! 👍
Scary corrosion! Do you treat the water and blow down(assuming it has a blowdown,it should!) after every use leaving boiler dry? Its essential to treat the water for steel boilers and blow down after use if its not going to be fired up in close future.To be honest youd be better of using copper for one such as this, they aren't as susceptible to water chemistry as steel,easier to form and weld and more than strong enough for the application.Rare to see such small boilers not made from copper.Love your work though,it is a lovely model.
No no treatment yet, I'm working on that. Leaving it dry is the worst thing you can do, you need to fill it al the way to the top when storing it.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy Late reply sorry, no actually miniature live steam boilers are blown down hot and stored this way. I actually operate certified miniature boilers that operate at pressures much greater than this little one (and pull train loads of paying members of the public) and i assure you this is how they are all stored. Full scale is a different story, ive also operated these and im talking main line locomotives that weigh in over 100 tonnes. Just a little experience ;)
@@TheDIYScienceGuy ruclips.net/video/wPNUQqbZ0oo/видео.html
How do you clean the rust up in the inside from the boiler?
With a blow down valve witch I do need to install. 🤓
@The DIY Science Guy Awesome build 👌🤙 Any chance you might be able to give me plan drawings so i can replicate it? Naturally id give credit for the design to you..
Can you Have Steam Boiler can Use Waste Heat Radiator in Smokebox.
Yes that is possible.
Yes sir, we are the supplier of waste heat recovery boiler that you are in need, you can add my Whatsapp: 0086 13386456156 so I can send more running vedios to you, tks
hi, can i ask how many kg. that one capacity is?
It delivers around 20 watt.
Update on this?
i found you because i wanted to build a hydrogen motorcycle :) Feel free to take a crack at the idea!
Thanks, nice idea 👍
Leuke video!
Where did you get the plans for the boiler?
It's my own design so, from my head I guess! 🤪
Cool Videos! Thanks. So just btw, I'm trying to search DIY science and your channel doesn't come up very easily under the Goggles
Thanks!! Yes I know. It's still a small channel and google favors the more popular ones. But I'll be ok 😉
Nice you should launch another hydrogen weather balloon but on a longer string
Thanks! Yes I will do that again but don't no when yet. Nice airplane shot btw 😉
are you a dutchman?
im enjoying this projcet!
Thanks!! Ja dat klopt! 😉
@@TheDIYScienceGuy ik zou persoonlijk de veiligheid er even afgedraaid hebben en alles afgeblind, pop erop 1,4 maal de werkdruk erop zetten en een kopje koffie gaan drinken om zeker te weten dat dat keteltje niet lekt! bij lloyds register(stoomwezen)
was je er niet doorheen gekomen! maar toch een leuk project!
Ja weet ik, dit was even de boeren methode 😉 maar goed, wilde zien of de lassen dicht waren. Zal het de volgende keer doen zoals het heurt 😊
Can someone say to me what that Lever he pushes do?
It's the feed water pump.
太棒了，自制锅炉安全吗？
谢谢你，如果锅炉可以保持2.5倍的工作压力，那么它是安全的
Question: Great, is the homemade boiler safe? Answer: Thank you! yes if the boiler can hold 2.5 times the working pressure in a pressure test, it is safe.
Вообще-то, в таких котлах трубки не варятся, а развальцовываются. Заодно их и менять проще.
Where do you have that nice steam engine from?
Thanks! I build it myself years ago when I still had access to a lathe and a mill.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy You could try using a cylindrical parabolic mirror for the solar powered steam engine projekt. It would also be nice if you showed us how yout built that great steam engine, because after searching for it on youtube I haven't found any good guide how to do this.
Yes good Idea! I'm building a new steam engine right now so in a while there will be a video about that.
Ik ruik nederlands haha
Your videos are pretty cool but I cannot stand that popping sound every 30 seconds.
Thanks! Can't make everybody happy at the same time.
Are you Dutch?
Yes I am!
@@TheDIYScienceGuythe Dutch people are the smartest in Europe, they built their own country 😂
How do I get my own
Start building one! 😉👍
@@TheDIYScienceGuy Awesome build 👌🤙 Any chance you might be able to give me plan drawings so i can replicate it? Naturally id give credit for the design to you..
Well I have no drawings of it because I made it all on the go. But you can follow my new project, I think you'll find that interesting: ruclips.net/p/PLTYlUGKLEk-E6MYragLDuytHid3MbX6xG
Dear friend, we are the manufacturer of boiler, you can add my Whatsapp/Wechat: +0086 13386456156 for more details, tks
Make video for high population density country as india . Then you will acheave more subscribe r
Ok thanks! But what are they interested in?
@@TheDIYScienceGuy every think
It is too old idea and low production of steam-
Bisa mesen pak kebetulan saya perlu
Sory I can't translate that. 😕
I mean, can I not be on board, I happen to have to pack for the mini genrator, hehe😁😁😁
The DIY Science Guy can you do it sir?
