Building a Portable Steam Engine by Tony Webster Pdf

This practical, instructional book describes the construction of a model of the Lampitt portable steam engine, which dates back to 1862, and which provided rotative power to drive threshing machines, circular saws, feed mills and other farm machinery. The construction of every component is described in precise detail and the text is supported by many helpful step-by-step photographs. In addition, useful advice is provided about obtaining materials and about the tools that are required to equip a model-engineering workshop. Accordingly, the information provided in this fascinating book will enable the reader to construct not only the Lampitt engine but also many other engineering models in the future. When the reader has finished building 'the Lampitt' he will, in effect, have completed an engineering apprenticeship, and will have a model engine of which he can be proud and which fully reveals the skills that he has learned. Fully illustrated with 142 step-by-step colour photographs.

Portable Steam Engines by Lyndon R. Shearman Pdf

The portable steam engine is closely related to the traction engine but is not self-moving, requiring to be towed. It was designed to drive machinery such as threshing machines, saws and pumps. Less attention has been paid to portables than their industrial significance warrants and this book gives an overall picture of their history and development, dealing with portables at work and in preservation. Technical features are examined in some detail, especially where portable engine practice differed from that of tractions. The introduction of portable engines into agriculture was a major advance not readily appreciated in these days of diesel and electric power. Their use spread into the forestry, construction and manufacturing industries. Portables were still being made after traction engine building had ceased and the author describes some old working machines.

How to Build a Steam Engine by George Hughes Pdf

A First-timer's full instruction guide showing how to build a genuine, steam-powered Pull You Round Traction Engine named PYRTE. Many photos from the build along with drawings to make your life easier. Needs mostly hand tools, with a small amount of very simple lathe usage.She's 26 inches long and weighs around 60lbs when ready for steaming and pulls an adult round with ease.Many have been built already by amateurs, proving the simplicity of design and being completed quickly compared to similar sized but more complicated engines and only two parts need to be purchased to complete this engine, other than steam fittings, the heating and transmission, making this engine an inexpensive project to complete with most being readily available stock from most hobby shops.By looking at this you've taken the first step to owning your own live-steam traction engine and with just a little persistence it will not be long before you are driving your own live-steam creation, built with your own hands; being pulled around easily as you watch the crankshaft and flywheel spinning almost silently right in front of your eyes as you trundle along.This is an upgraded version covering the latest steam regulations

Building Model Steam Engines for Beginners by Jase Robbin Pdf

Model steam engines are scaled-down manifestations or prototypes of steam-driven propulsion systems that were operational in factories, ships, and full-scale steam locomotives throughout the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. These functional models are frequently constructed to scale and employ the same fundamental principles as their larger counterparts. Fundamental elements of model steam engines consist of: Similar to conventional steam engines, the furnace is an essential component. Water is heated to generate vapor. The steam engine is the mechanical device responsible for transforming the energy present in steam into motion. Typical components consist of a crankshaft and a piston. Cylinder: The expansion of steam within the cylinder converts thermal energy into mechanical labor by pushing a piston. Flywheel: This component is frequently included to reduce engine vibration. During the power stroke, the flywheel stores energy, which it subsequently discharges for the remainder of the cycle. Fuel Source: To heat the boiler and generate steam, model steam engines may utilize solid fuel tablets, liquid fuels, or even electricity. For a variety of reasons, model steam engines are popular among collectors and hobbyists: Constructing and managing a model steam engine can impart practical knowledge of fundamental engineering principles, mechanics, and thermodynamics. Historical Interest: A considerable number of devotees derive pleasure from recreations of steam power on a smaller, more feasible scale, due to its profound historical significance. The construction of model steam engines frequently necessitates meticulous craftsmanship, and numerous enthusiasts derive immense satisfaction from fabricating elaborate and visually appealing prototypes. Hobby Communities: Model steam engine enthusiasts participate in communities where they exchange information, experiences, and creations. It is noteworthy to mention that although certain model steam engines are straightforward and intended for novices, others can be quite intricate and demand a substantial degree of proficiency and expertise to assemble and operate in a secure manner. Furthermore, it is critical to observe safety protocols when handling live steam due to the elevated temperatures and pressures involve
