anyone here have a stationary steam engine? are they actually as cool as they look?I've been thinking about the Wilesco D141 (pic related) because it's a self-contained kit that "does stuff" but I'm also eyeing the D18 as it looks like a more traditional design
hope you don't live in the uk where the optimal, solid fuel is bannedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZiGpTwG0ygalso bump since I don't know very much but topic seems neat
>>11665414Idk if its something youd be curious about but ive been seeing ads on yt for a working model internal combustion engine. I cant afford any new projects but it looks cool.
The only time I hear about steam engines is when they explode at a fair or something. Could these do that?
>>11665525Probably not. IF by some chance there's too much pressure then with the thin materials its made from you're more likely to have a fissure-crack for the steam to fizzle through.
