manual operation |
|
Hi, I started a new project. I fabricated a rotative beam and I |
|
need a small steam engine for operation. I was looking at |
|
youtube and some of the projects are converting gas lawn mowers |
|
engines to steam. Does anyone know how well this type of |
|
conversion works? Are there any useful links that will provide |
|
any info that will help me complete this project? Suggestions |
|
welcome. |

Welcome |
|
I used to sell instructions for the conversion. Its a bit of a |
|
pain to tear down the engine and make the changes, but a lot |
|
easier than machining a steam engine from castings. Give me |
|
your email by emailing me at [email protected] and I will send |
|
you the engine conversion and boiler plans. |
|
Steam engines really aren't the hard part though. It's the |
|
boiler and controls. Its not safe to just get a drum of water |
|
and put a fire under it. Most boilers are tube boilers. I |
|
prefer monotube boilers. |
|
If you really want to do this I have a converted Briggs and |
|
Stratton engine that runs great on 10-100 PSI steam. It has a |
|
7/8" keyed output shaft for pulleys. I would sell it. |

Hi, have you tried to recycle the exhaust using a closed system |
|
with a condenser? How long can you run your system before you |
|
have to add more water? |
|
Thanks for the plans. |
