Vertical twin steam engine with alternator

Thank you for all your kind words.

To build the steam boiler I used two u-shape tanks. I took it from old cooking furnaces. When you are cooking it also heats water in central heating.
It was something like this:


I linked two tanks and added pressure gauge, safety valve and water gauge. I also built hand water pump. In the chimney there is superheater. The building next to the boiler is smokehause. They have got mutual chimney.

There are some photos:

You really make me feel ashamed...

I have my own CNC mill, access to a decent lathe, 2 other manual mills, plus tooling and "additional machinery" like saw, metal cutter etc etc.

And still, you do beat me by far comparing my achievements to your ingenuity and skill!

Keep it up and as someone said. I'm 110% sure you can build you're own lathe.
Can't imagine the things coming out of you're shop having a simple lathe...or what you could achieve in a workshop like the one I have access to but "don't have the time to use"...  :doh:

What are you studying?

Keep us updated of you're progress.
Great work!  :beer:

Welcome to MadModder, we are glad you stopped by to show us your latest steam engine.

With your attitude and determination I am sure that you could built your own lathe or milling machine if you decided to do so. There are some that have all the equipment and still would not attempt what you have accomplished without the lathe and mill. What you have built is truly an amazing accomplishment considering the tools available to you. I look forward to seeing more of your projects in the future as you have the time to show them to us. If you have any questions just ask as there is always someone around to answer or at least give an opinion. Good luck with your studies.  :D :D

Cheers  :beer:
