i want to make steam engine with home materials. i know steam engine concept.but i can not get proper materials for pistons and vales.have you anyone idea?
Trying to contain the temperature and pressure of steam with home materials is a challenge. Anything that traps the steam in a pipe or container beyond a kettle can be dangerous, it can explode.
You have not said what the purpose is for
I got plans from here: www.backyardmetalcasting.com home.comcast.net Made from plumbing parts and some other stuff, i used parts anyone could find ...
Home-made, copper, brass and wood, double-acting beam steam engine; cornish boiler; vaporizing gasoline burner; and displacement oiler.
boiler problems and new boiler
Compressed air engine with it own air pump
it is shorter than most and homemade i don't know who built it but they knew what tey were doing
...something out of wood....
