So I stopped working on this until about September when I had a sudden determination to get it finished for Christmas.
Unfortunately I didn't stop to take pictures, but here's a video of it working:

I got away with a camp stove (this one) for the one I just did, but it needs topping up a few times before you get decent steam pressure. It's a pretty inefficient boiler on that though, with no cross pipes at all, and not enough draught (hence the flame coming out at the bottom).
I've not put much/any thought into the car idea, but I think a horizontal boiler would be the better option, steam train style. Maybe a spirit reservoir towards the back of the car where the driver would normally sit, with the whole thing looking a tiny bit reminiscent of a 50s f1 car.
I do have some tiny bevel gearsets kicking around so I could possibly do a v-twin Oscillator or something, placed in the middle of the car with a belt through the middle and a driveshaft to the back wheels.
Really just thinking it through at the moment, you can see how long the last one took to come to fruition ____________________ I am a bellend, I am a man of constant sorrow, I am a gummy bear, I am a rock. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 88 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
