Tim Glad to see that things are starting to fall into place again and you can get some shop time to help you relax a bit. We're all pulling for you Tim, hang in there. :D Cheers :beer: Don |

Thanks Stew & Don, I appreciate your comments. It's funny, now that I'm starting to get back in the workshop properly, the list of future projects seems to be growing exponentially !!! :proj: After I get this running I am going to leave it in its reletively rough appearance for a while until I get a couple of small projects done, then I hope to bling it up a bit. Some of the future projects are:- Air powered hit-and-miss engine loosely based on Chuck Fellows design, Either a V4 or a straight 6 wobbler type engine ( or maybe both :proj: ), Convert my X2 mill to cnc control, convert my rotab to cnc control, build a skeleton clock. And that's just what I can remember at 7am!!! Tim |

Well I got another little blast in the workshop this afternoon and managed to eliminate another cause for friction in one of the steam chests. I then brought my camera in and captured a video for you all to see. ( in HD and all :bugeye: ) Before you play it I must apologise for the sound, there is still a lot of air escaping and then the compressor kicked in, so it might be worth sticking something in your ears ( or mute/turn down your sound ). After running it for a bit it will self-start on about 35-40psi, and will run on as little as 18-25psi. It runs great one way, and not so great the other, but hopefully it will bed in after some more running. It's not too pretty at the moment, and I still havent got any liqued gasket yet, so it still leaks a bit from all the mating metal faces. Once I get it running real smooth and on lower psi's I will bling it up. Tim |
