Steam machine from the old engine. Steam engine without machines and tools. Representatives of factory production power plants

Hello everyone! With you again kompik92!
And today and we will make a steam engine!
I think everyone was once like to make a steam engine!
Well, let's make your dreams reality!

I have two options to do: easy and complicated. Both options are very cool and interesting and if you think that there will be only one option, then you are right. The second option I will lay out a little later!

And let's immediately go to the instructions!

But first....

Safety regulations:

1. When the engine is running, and you want to transfer it, use tongs, thick gloves or not conducting heat material!
2. If you want to make the engine more difficult or more powerful, it is better to know from someone else to ecperimate! Incorrect assembly can lead to a boiler blast!
3. If you want to take a working engine, do not guide couples on people!
4. Do not block pairs in a jar or tube, a steam engine can explode!

And here is the instruction for option number 1:

We need:

• Bank from under Cola or Pepsi from aluminum
• Pliers
• Scissors for metal
• Piecol for paper (not to be confused with the drnocol)
• Little candle
• Aluminum foil
• 3mm copper tube
• Pencil
• Salad or big bowl

Let's get started!
1. You need to cut off the bottom banks with a height of 6.35 cm. For a better cut, first draw a pencil line and then smoothly cut the bottom of the banks. So we get the housing of our engine.

Here is a quote from Wikipedia.

Sounding - Metal long, glass, porcelain (ceramic) or plastic tube, bent by some regular or irregular manner, intended to ensure maximum heat exchange between two media, separated by the coating walls in the minimum space. Historically, such heat exchange was initially used to condensate passing vapors passing through a coil.

I think it became easier, but if it still did not make it easier, I will explain myself. The serpent is a tube in which the liquid flows so that it is heated or cooled.

Began his expansion at the beginning of the 19th century. And already at that time, not only large aggregates for industrial purposes were built, but also decorative. Most of their buyers were rich veelmes who wanted to steal themselves and their kids. After steam units firmly entered the life of society, decorative engines began to be applied in universities and schools as educational samples.

Steam engines of modernity

At the beginning of the 20th century, the relevance of steam engines began to fall. One of the few companies that continued the release of decorative mini engines was the British company MAMOD, which allows you to purchase a sample of such equipment even today. But the cost of such steam engines easily exceeds two hundred pounds sterling, which is not so little for baubles for a couple of evenings. Especially for those who like to collect all sorts of mechanisms on their own, much more interesting to create a simple steam engine with their own hands.

Very simple. The fire heats the boiler with water. Under the action of temperature, the water turns into a pair that pushes the piston. While there is water in the container, connected to the piston, the flywheel will rotate. This is the standard layout of the steam engine. But you can collect a model and a completely different configuration.

Well, we turn from the theoretical part to more exciting things. If you are interested to do something with your own hands, and you are surprised at such exotic cars, then this article is for you, in it we will gladly tell about various ways to collect the engine with your own hands. At the same time, the process of creating a mechanism gives joy not less than its launch.

Method 1: Mini-steam engine with your own hands

So, let's begin. We collect the easiest steam engine with your own hands. Drawings, complex tools and special knowledge is not needed.

For a start, take from under any drink. Cut from her lower third. Since they get sharp edges as a result, they must be beaten inside the pliers. We do it carefully not to cut down. Since most aluminum cans have a concave bottom, then it is necessary to align it. It is enough to close it with your finger to some solid surface.

At a distance of 1.5 cm from the top edge of the resulting "glass" it is necessary to make two holes opposite each other. It is desirable to use holes for this, as it is necessary that they come in diameter at least 3 mm. On the bottom of the banks put a decorative candle. Now we take the usual table foil, they me, after which they turn our mini-burner from all sides.

Mini-nois

Next, you need to take a piece of copper tube with a length of 15-20 cm. It is important that inside it was a hollow, since this will be our main mechanism for bringing the design in motion. The central part of the tube wrap around a pencil 2 or 3 times, so that a small spiral is turned out.

Now it is necessary to place this element so that the curved place is located directly above the candle wick. To do this, give the handset of the letter "M". At the same time, we derive the sites that are lowered down through the holes in the bank. Thus, the copper tube is rigidly fixed above the wick, and its edges are peculiar nozzles. In order for the design to rotate, it is necessary to beat the opposite ends of the "m-element" by 90 degrees in different directions. The design of the steam engine is ready.

Engine starting

The jar is placed in water tanks. It is necessary that the edges of the tube are under its surface. If nozzles are not sufficiently long, then you can add a small jourjik to the bottom. But be careful - do not sweat the entire engine.

Now it is necessary to fill the tube with water. To do this, you can lower one edge into the water, and the second to pull the air both through the tube. Lower the jar on the water. Gilt the wick candles. After some time, the water in the spiral will turn into a pair, which under pressure will fly out of the opposite ends of the nozzles. The bank will start rotating in the tank fairly quickly. This is how we got the engine with your own vapor. As you can see, everything is simple.

Model of steam engine for adults

Now complicate the task. We collect a more serious engine with your own steam hands. First you need to take the bank from under the paint. It should be verified that it is absolutely clean. On the wall for 2-3 cm from the bottom, we cut a rectangle with dimensions of 15 x 5 cm. The long side is located in parallel bottom of the cans. From the metal mesh, we cut a piece of 12 x 24 cm. From both ends of the long side, we measure 6 cm. Film these areas at an angle of 90 degrees. We have a small "table-platform" with an area of \u200b\u200b12 x 12 cm with kicks 6 cm. We establish the resulting design to the bottom of the banks.

On the perimeter of the lid, it is necessary to make several holes and place them in the form of a semicircle along one half of the lid. It is desirable that the holes have a diameter of about 1 cm. It is necessary in order to ensure proper ventilation of the internal space. A steam engine will not be able to work well if a sufficient amount of air will not fall to the source of fire.

Main element

From the copper tube we make a spiral. It is necessary to take about 6 meters of soft copper tube with a diameter of 1/4-inch (0.64 cm). From one end, I refue 30 cm. Starting from this point, you need to make five spiral turns with a diameter of 12 cm each. The rest of the pipe bends in 15 rings with a diameter of 8 cm. Thus, there should be 20 cm of a free tube on the other end.

Both outputs are passed through the ventilation holes in the lid of the cans. If it turns out that the length of the straight area is not enough to do this, then one round of the spiral can be accessed. The platform is installed in advance are coal. At the same time, the spiral should be placed just above this platform. Coal neatly lay out between its turns. Now the bank can be closed. As a result, we got a firebox that will drive the engine. With your own hands, the steam engine is almost made. Left a little.

Water tank

Now you need to take another paint bank, but already smaller. In the center of its lid, the hole is drilled with a diameter of 1 cm. On the side of the banks do two more holes - one almost at the bottom, the second - above, at the lid itself.

Take two crusts, in the center of which they do a hole from the diameters of the copper tube. In one crust insert 25 cm of the plastic pipe, in the other - 10 cm, so that their edge barely penetrates from traffic jams. In the lower hole of the small banks insert a crust with a long tube, in the upper - shorter tube. A smaller bank is placed on a large pot of paint so that the hole on the bottom was on the opposite side from the ventilation passages of the big cans.

Result

As a result, the next design should turn out. In a small jar, water is poured, which through the hole in the bottom flows into the copper tube. The fire is burned under the spiral, which heats the copper container. Hot couple rises through the handset up.

In order for the mechanism to be completed, it is necessary to attach a piston and flywheel to the upper end of the copper tube. As a result, the thermal energy of combustion will be transformed into the mechanical power of the wheel rotation. There are a huge number of different schemes for creating such an external combustion engine, but all of them are always involved two elements - fire and water.

In addition to such a design, you can collect steam but this material for a completely separate article.

I have long wanted to write my artist in the pakflara and finally decided.
One of the first of my serious projects was the manufacture of a steam engine, I started it at 12 years 12 and continued on about 7 years, as the tools increase and align the curves of the hands.

The beginning of everything put video and articles about steam engines, after which I decided, and what I worse. As I remember, I wanted to build it for generating electricity for a table lamp. As it seemed to me, he had to be beautiful, small in size, work on shavings from pencils and stand on the windowsill for the output of hot gases to the street through a drilled hole in the window (it did not reach it).
As a result, one of the first models that were drawn on an ambulance hand and were built using a file, wood, epoxy, nails and drills were ugly and non-working.

After that, there was a series of improvements and work on errors. During that time, I had to try myself not only by the foundryman, paying the flywheel (which later turned out to be uncommon), but also learned to work in drawing programs of the 3D, AutoCAD (which was useful at the Institute).



But no matter how I tried all the time something went awry. I constantly could not achieve the desired accuracy in the manufacture of pistons and cylinders, which led to jammed or did not create compression and made engines for short-term working or workers at all.
A special problem caused the creation of a steam boiler for the engine. My first boiler I decided to make a simple scheme seen somewhere. An ordinary tin can was taken with a sealed, from the open end, a cover with a derived tube for the engine. The main minus of the boiler was that it is impossible to give water to throw out. Increase temperature can resolve soldering. And of course, as it always happens, during the experiment heating was distinguished, which led to a mini-explosion and the release of hot steam and rusty water on the walls and ceiling ....

In the future, the manufacture of a steam engine and a boiler has ceased for several months.

And this is only part of what has been left today.

And for even greater safety, a pressure gauge was installed

The minus still has this boiler to warm up such a bandor to the operating temperature falls for 20 minutes to warm the gas burner.
As a result, with blood and then, at the end, it was made its steam engine, working, however, not on the chips from the pencils and the most initial requirements, but as they say: "And so comes."

In the book of O. Kurti "Building models of vessels", which can be fully downloaded here depositfiles.com/files/3b9jgisv9 there is a couple of interesting drawings of machines for drive models of steamers.
Here they are:

Steam machine with a swing cylinder of simple action and a steam distribution plate (with valve control)

Machines of this type are most often used in shipyadodelism (Fig. 562, a, b). Typically, parts are made of brass; The cylinder is not to lubricate, from phosphorous bronze, and the piston is made of steel. Fasten the car on a square or rectangular foundation depending on the installation site in the housing. The foundation put a L-shaped rack to which a steam distribution plate with holes (windows) for the intake and release of steam are attached. These windows are located on the arc, the length of which is equal to the circular path passing through the swing cylinder. The cylinder is performed from a piece of brass tube and solder to the support plate. In the middle of the slab and cylinder there is a hole through which steam is admitted and produced. The bolt in the stove serving the axis of the cylinder swing has a spring. Its tension is regulated by a nut, so that it is possible to achieve a good fit of the support plate to the stear distribution plate.
In the piston made from a round piece of bronze, screwed the rod and attach it to the moth bolt with a nut.
The drive shaft is performed from the round brass rod, at the ends of which they make cutting. One end of the shaft is written into the moth, then the shaft is passed through the hollow screw that supports it in the L-shaped rack, and the flywheel is screwed into the second end.
Steam tubes for supplying and removing the steam are made from brass or copper tubes and attach to small fittings, which, in turn, are soldered to a steam distribution plate. Details of the steam machine of this type have the following averages:
Cylinder: Inner diameter - 12-15 mm, length - 30- 45 mm;
Rack: height - 40-60 mm, width - 40-50 mm;
Flywheel: diameter - 35-45 mm, thickness - 12-15 mm;
Pipelines: 5HB mm (internal and outer diameters).
In fig. 562, C and D shows a steam machine similar to that described, but with a double-acting cylinder, so two more small holes for the inlet and release of steam are drilled on the steam distribution plate, and the second small hole on the cylinder is drilled.

Steam machine with fixed cylinder of simple action and spool steam distributor

The machine is designed so that it can be installed both in horizontal and vertical positions (Fig. 563, a). The cylinder is reinforced on the foundation plate and is a rectangular brass bar with through holes for the piston, as well as for the intake and release of steam. At the top of the cylinder is a steam distribution box with a spool. On the side of the cylinder is closed with a lid installed on four bolts.
The piston is performed from a piece of round bronze. Inside piston hollow. One end of the connecting rod is connected with a piston with a piston finger and two supporting rings; Other - with cylindrical brass moth.
The drive shaft rotates in two support brass bearings, which, with the help of through bolts, are fixed on the foundation. On the drive shaft, in addition to the moth, an eccentric was installed, connected to a spool rod for a fork, and the movement of the eccentric shifted on the phase relative to the movement of the piston. At the end of the drive shaft is a flywheel. Perform a spool, as can be seen from fig. 563, easy.
Entrance and output steam pipelines are usually made of copper or brass tubes.
Medium dimensions of machine parts:
Cylinder: Length - 45-55 mm, Height - 35-45 mm, Width - 35-45 mm;
Foundation Plate: Length - 100-120 mm, width - 65-85 mm;
Flywheel: Diameter - 45-50 mm, thickness - 12-15 mm.
Pipelines: 5x6 mm.
Change the direction of rotation in the steam machine is easy, for this it is enough to apply a reversible valve (Fig. 563, b).

Have you ever seen how the steam engine does not work on the video? Nowadays, it is not easy to find such a functioning model. Oil and gas have long supplanted couples, making a dominant position in the world of technical installations leading mechanisms in motion. However, the craft is not lost, you can find samples of successfully running engines installed by craftsmen on cars and motorcycles. Homemade samples more often resemble museum exhibits than elegant laconic devices suitable for operation, but they work! And people are successfully driving on steam cars and move different aggregates.

In this release of the channel "Techno Rebel" you will see a steam double-cylinder car. It all started with two pistons and the same number of cylinders.
I remove all unnecessary, the master increased the stroke of the piston and working volume. What led to an increase in torque. The most complex detail of the project is the crankshaft. It consists of a pipe that wept under 3 bearings. 15 and 25 pipes. Spinal pipe after welding. Prepared a pipe under the piston. After processing, it will become a cylinder or spool.

From the edge it is left on the pipe 1 centimeter, so that when the cover is boiled, the metal may be driving to the side. Piston can get stuck. The video shows the revision of the distribution cylinders. One of the holes are muffled, narrowed to the twenty tube. Couples will arrive here. Hole to exit steam.

How the device works. Couple served in the holes. It is distributed through the pipe, falls in 2 cylinders. When the piston goes down, the pairs passes and the pressure is lowered. Piston rises. Overlaps the passage. Couples wagon through holes.
